NEC AFFRESH W10176966D Manuale Utente

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics, and heavily soiled garments. This 
cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten 
drying times. If the water temperature is lower than needed for this cycle, the heater will 
warm the water to the optimum temperature.

Use this cycle to wash normally soiled cottons and linens. This cycle combines medium-
speed tumbling and extra high-speed spin. 

Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled “Permanent Press” or “Wrinkle 
Free” or that indicate using a “Gentle” cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low-speed 
tumbling and medium-speed spin to help reduce wrinkling. 

Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This 
cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to 
shorten drying time.

Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments 
are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low-speed 
tumbling and soaking. Low-speed spin helps reduce wrinkling.

Use this cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses 
a higher water level in combination with AFFRESH

TM

 washer cleaner or bleach and steam, to 

thoroughly clean the inside of your washer. This cycle should not be interrupted. See 
Cleaning Your Washer in the Washer Care section.
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle.

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra 
high speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want 
from the Spin Speed modifier.
A Rinse & Spin cycle is useful for:

„

Loads that need rinsing only, like swimsuits. 

NOTE: For more delicate loads, when using a Rinse & Spin cycle to rinse swimwear, 
change the Speed Spin Modifier setting to Medium or Low to avoid fabric stress.

„

Adding fabric softener to a load.

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is 
preset to extra high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want 
from the Spin Speed modifier.
NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, hand washables, and washable woolens should 
be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.

Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak 
time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal 
distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve the removal 
of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.

Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed. The 
preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear 
various sounds when the door is locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and 
spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You 
will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds 
and pauses are part of normal washer operation.
