Wash Options

The options should be selected BEFORE pressing the
Départ/Pause button
Intensif
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. However, during the wash and rinse procedures, 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.
Super Rapide
This option can be used on the Cottons and Synthetics programmes. By
selecting the Super Rapide option, the wash time can be reduced by up to
50 minutes, depending on the selected programme, temperature and load,
without affecting the quality of the wash.
Prélavage
This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used
before selecting the main wash programme. Detergent for this programme
should be added to the first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "I"
(Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of manual). We recommend you use
only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack and
fabric conditioner should not be used for this programme.
Extra Rinçage
This option is available on the cottons programmes. The option increases the
number of rinses to five (including the final conditioned rinse). This can help
prevent skin irritation from detergent residue for people with particularly
sensitive skin. Selecting the Extra Rinçage button is also recommended when
washing heavily soiled fabrics which need a lot of detergent, or when the
wash load contains towelling fabrics that have a greater tendency to retain
detergent.
