• Algodón Eco (Cottons Eco)

Use to wash your normally soiled, durable
cotton and linen laundry. Although it washes
longer than all other programmes, it provides
high energy and water savings. Actual water
temperature may be different from the stated
wash temperature. When you load the
machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity
or less), periods in programme stages may
automatically get shorter. In this case, energy
and water consumption will decrease more,
providing a more economic wash.

• hygiene+

Applying a steam step at the beginning of the
programme allows to soften the dirt easily.

Use this programme for your laundry (baby
clothes, bed sheets, bedlinen, underwear,
etc. cotton items) that requires an anti-allergic
and hygienic washing at high temperature
with intensive and long washing cycle. The
high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the
steam application before the programme, long
heating duration and additional rinsing step.

Allergy Foundation“ (Allergy UK) with the
60°C temperature option selected and
it was certified in terms of its efficacy in
eliminating allergens in addition to bacteria
and mould.
