The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on
standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as
the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of
detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010:
This cycle is designed for normally soiled cotton loads and is the most ecient in terms of
both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments washable at 60°C or
at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may dier from the indicated value.

! The “Programme key” situated inside the detergent dispenser shows all the
available wash cycles together with a graphic guide on how to use the
individual dispenser compartments.

WASH CYCLES

Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash
care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum
recommended temperature for washing the garment.

Mixed

For washing lightly to normally soiled resilient garments in cotton, linen,
synthetic bres and mixed bres.

Eco Cotton 60°/40°

Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and
60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most
ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.

Cotton

Normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons .

Synthetics

Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.

Delicates

For washing very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments
inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on
delicate garments.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark Company for
washing wool garments classied as “hand-washable”, provided that the
wash complies with the instructions appearing on the garment’s label
and with those provided by the manufacturer of this washing machine.
(M1127)

Anti Allergy

Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or dog hair.

Anti Stain 40°

The programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant
colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A
class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of dierent
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with
special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.

White

For washing normally to heavily soiled towels, underwear, table and bed
linen, etc in resilient cotton and linen. Only when the temperature is
selected at 90°C the cycle is provided with a prewash phase before main
washing phase. In this case it is recommended to add detergent both, in
the prewash and main wash section.

Steam Refresh

The garments will be damp once the cycle is completed, so we recommend
hanging them to dry (2 kg, roughly 3 items). This programme refreshes
garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the bres. Insert dry items
only (that are not dirty) and select programme “Steam Refresh”. Garments
will be a little damp at the end of the cycle and can be worn after a few
minutes. The “Steam Refresh” programme makes ironing easier.
! Do not add softeners or detergents.
! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.

Rapid 30 min

For washing lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle lasts only 30
minutes, saving time and energy.

Bed & Bath

For washing home linen in a single cycle. It optimises the use of fabric
softener and allows for saving time and electricity. We recommend the
use of powder detergent.

Shirts

Use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in dierent fabrics and colours
to guarantee they receive the best possible care.

Spin & Drain

Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If you
exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only

Rinse & Spin

Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

DISPLAY

The display is useful when programming the washing machine and
provides plenty of information.

The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a
running cycle appear in section A (the display will show the maximum
duration of the cycle chosen, which may decrease after several minutes,
since the eective duration of the programme varies depending on the
wash load and the settings chosen); if the DELAYED START option has been
set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear.
Pressing the corresponding button allows you to view the maximum spin
speed and temperature values attained by the machine during the set
wash cycle, or the values selected most recently, if these are compatible
with the set wash cycle.
