The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ). Setting the temperature GB Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected. The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows: Programmes Maximum spin speed Cottone 1200 rpm Synthetics 800 rpm Wool 600 rpm Silk no . The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for each programme. Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set frequency. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning. The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes. Setting the spin speed Functions To enable a function: 1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below; 2. Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the programme set. Function Effect Delays the start of the wash by up to 9 hours. This option reduces the amount of creasing on fabrics, making them easier to iron. Comments Press the button repeatedly until the LED corresponding to the desired delay is turned on. N.
