- Rapid Wash: This additional function allows for shorter wash times, using less energy and water, recommended for loads less than half the maximum dry load.
- Half-Load Detection System: If less than half the maximum load is placed in the machine, it automatically activates the half-load function, reducing cycle time, water, and energy consumption.
- Child Lock: This feature prevents unintentional operation by children. It is activated by pressing and holding two specific buttons simultaneously for at least 3 seconds.
- Start/Pause Button: Initiates or pauses the selected program.
- Program End Indicator: The display panel shows "End" when a program is complete, and the door lock releases, allowing laundry removal.

Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the appliance's longevity and optimal performance.
- Detergent Drawer Cleaning: The detergent drawer should be removed and cleaned every 2 months to prevent residue buildup. This involves pulling the drawer forward, pressing a release catch, and cleaning it with warm water and a soft brush, paying attention to the conditioner section and syphon tube.
- Water Inlet Filters Cleaning: The water inlet filters, located at the machine's rear and the tap end of the inlet hose, prevent dirt from entering. They should be cleaned every 2 months or when water intake is insufficient. This involves unscrewing the hose, using pliers to pull out the filters, cleaning them with a soft brush and soapy water, and then re-inserting them.
- Pump Filter Cleaning: The pump filter, located behind a cover on the front-lower right corner, should be cleaned every 2 months to prevent lint from entering the pump. A container should be placed underneath to collect excess water before turning the filter anti-clockwise and removing it. After cleaning any foreign materials with a soft brush, the filter is re-inserted and turned clockwise.
- Flush Stopper Cleaning: The flush stopper, located within the detergent drawer, should be disassembled and cleaned to remove softener residue, then properly refitted.
- Body Cleaning: The external casing can be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water, then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
- Drum Cleaning: To prevent rust stains caused by metallic objects, a non-chlorine cleaning agent should be used, following the manufacturer's instructions. Wire wool or similar hard objects should not be used. Periodic cleaning using the "Drum Clean" or "Cottons-90" program is recommended every 2 months.
- General Advice: Unplug the machine and turn off the water supply if it will be unused for a long time. Leaving the door open helps prevent humidity buildup. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, or glass cleaners on plastic surfaces.
