Spin Speed

This function is used to select a lower spin speed or a
rinse stop for a more gentle treatment of the laundry, for
example with delicate laundry (see next section).
Maximum spin speed will be used unless spin reduction
is selected.
This is always dependent on the programme selected.
A single press on this button causes the pre-selected
spin speed to be shown in the digital display.
Repeatedly pressing the button causes the spin speed
to be reduced. The slowest possible spin speed is 400
rpm.
The spin speed can also be changed while a program-
me is operating but not during the spin cycle however.
Money-saving tip
If the laundry is to be dried in a tuble dryer, select a high
spin speed since well-drained laundry needs much less
energy and time for machine drying.

Rinse Stop

The «Rinse Stop» function is used to prevent creasing
of delicate laundry. In this case, the laundry is held in
the final rinse water. (See page 57).
Select «Rinse Stop» by reducing the spin speed until
STOP is displayed.
You can also end the programme by Drain without spin
or with spin. (See page 57).
Quick Wash button
The programme can be shortened or cancelled by ope-
rating the Quick Wash button.

mes.
