The wool and handwash cycles of this machine have been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing
of Woolmark garments labelled as “machine wash” or “hand wash” provided that the garments are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued in this programme chart. M0619

- respect the manufacturer's recommendations on the care label

Normally to heavily soiled and robust white cotton laundry. In case of heavy
soiling or stains, you can add an oxygenbased bleach additive which can be used at
95°C. This programme eliminates bacteria, ensuring sanitization of your laundry.

Normally to heavily soiled bed linen, table linen and underwear, towels, shirts etc.
made of cotton and linen.

Heavily soiled and robust laundry made of cotton, synthetics and their blends.

Economical energy consumption by prolonged wash duration - ideal to be run overnight
to profit from more favourable energy rates. Avoid noise of spinning at night by
setting the spin speed to “0” and start spin programme in the morning, or by defining
programme start with “Start delay” accordingly. - For garments with a high share of
synthetic fibres, we recommend to use a laundry net.

Normally soiled garments made of artificial fibres (like polyester, polyacryl, viscose
etc.) or their blends with cotton.

Slightly to normally soiled robust laundry made of cotton, linen, artificial fibres and
their blends. Effective one-hour programme. Make sure to wash only similar colours
together in one wash load.

Shortly worn clothing made of cotton, polyester, polyamide and blends with
cotton. Brief programme to refresh your laundry.

Only woollens, labelled with the Woolmark and identified as machine washable.

This programme (40°C) is tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for
machine washable wool.

Textiles made of silk, linen, wool and viscose marked as “handwashable”.

This programme (40°C) is tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for
handwashable wool.

This programme is particurarly suitable to treat delicate lingerie (use of laundry net
strongly recommended).

In this programme spinning is intensive. Same as the spin cycle in the “Cotton”
programme.

Drain only - no spinning. Alternative method of terminating programme after “Rinse
hold”.

Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the
home may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type
of wash.Water and energy consumption refer to the default setting of the programmes; selecting special options or modifying spin
speed or temperature will change the consumption data.
The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that
time (see also “Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).
*

To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out.
