Special programmes

“A” wash performance Margherita has a special programme to allow you to obtain optimum results even at low temperatures.

By setting programme 4 at a temperature of 40° C, the results you will obtain will be the same as you would normally obtain at 60°C thanks to the washer-dryer’s action and the length of the wash cycle.

Daily wash Margherita has a programme studied for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.

By setting programme 9 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 3 kg. This programmes allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.
