FAST WASH BUTTON
Press the button to select or deselect this function.
Pressing this button reduces the time of the wash programme by a maximum of 50 minutes
depending on the programme and the temperature selected. The "Fast Wash" button can be
used for washing loads of 1 to 6 kg. This option may only be utilised on COTTONS and
SYNTHETICS programmes.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing
the "Start/Pause" button.
ALLERGY CARE BUTTON
By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cottons and Mixed
Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor Activa System. This option treats with care the
fibres of garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.
The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new
combined action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you
garments which have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the
wash is increased so that the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning
action. The amount of water is also increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all
traces of detergent from the fibres.
This function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for
whom even a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in
general, or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a
greater quantity of detergent.
To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens programs.

STAIN VANISH BUTTON
By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the
new Activa system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it
at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum.
The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent
enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a
uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in
order to maximise the cleaning action. Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the
wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE
PROGRAM.
