RAPID WASH 30/RINSE ONLY This programme can be used to wash lightly soiled cotton or synthetic garments quickly, or to rinse garments which have been washed by hand. Thanks to its special sensors, the washing machine is able to recognise when the garments placed in the drum have detergent on them. - If no detergent is detected (lightly soiled garments), the RAPID 30 cycle will be performed. - If detergent is detected (cloths which have been washed by hand), the RINSE ONLY cycle will be performed automatically. AUTOMATIC RINSE MANAGEMENT The rinse function is monitored and controlled in every programme by special sensors. If the garments are very soapy at the end of the wash, the rinse cycle will be extended automatically until the detergent is removed completely. In this case the wash programme duration may be slightly increased in relation to the information given in the table of programmes. *Note: 7 Detergents and laundry GB Preparing the laundry Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label; - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
