Anti-Stain
this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant

colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with
special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level
basis. Dryness level “ ” recommended.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The
Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments labelled as “hand
wash” provided that the products are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer

Delicates
use programme to wash very delicate garments with decorative features, such
as diamantes and sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and
placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle
is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate,
thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the
water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.
