1) A 4th rinse automatically switches in if there is too much foam in the drum, or if a spin speed lower
than 800 rpm has been selected.
2) Increasing the water level:
The water level can be increased from a low level to a higher level by pressing the “Water plus” button
3) Top-up rinse:
Additional water flows into the drum, and the suds are cooled slightly. Hot water might damage plastic
drain pipes.
Graduated rinsing:
The suds are cooled at the end of the wash cycle by water flowing in and being pumped away at inter-
vals. This minimises the danger of creasing, by avoiding sudden temperature changes.
WOOLLENS:
Wool is susceptible to damage from movement when it is wet. Drum movement times during the pro-
gramme are shorter, and the drum rotates more slowly.
