temperature of 40°C or 60°C. They are the most efficient programmes in terms of energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry. The actual water temperature may differ from the declared one.

For allTest Institutes

Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle Cottonwith a temperature of 40°C. Synthetic program along: set wash cycle Syntheticswith a temperature of 40°C.

This data may differ in your home due to changing conditions in inlet water temperature, water pressure etc. Approximate programme duration values refer to the default setting of the programmes, without options.

**After programme end and spinning with maximum selectable spin speed, in default programme setting.

***The duration of the programme is shown on the display.

PROGRAMMES

For choosing the appropriate programme for your kind of laundry, always respect the instructions on

the care labels of the laundry. The value given in the

tub symbol is the maximum temperature possible for washing the garment.

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.

Cotton

Normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons .

Eco Cotton

For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40°c and 60°C, this is the standard cotton programme and the most efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.

Sport

Duvet

Designed for washing eiderdown padded items such as double or single duvets, cushions and anoraks. It is recommended to load such padded items in the drum with the edges folded inwards and not to exceed ¾ of the drum’s volume. For optimal washing, we recommend using a liquid detergent.

Jeans

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.

Rapid 30’

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

Colours 15°

This cycle helps protect colours by washing in cold water (15°C) and uses less energy to heat the water while still offering satisfactory wash results. Suitable for lightly soiled, ustained garments. This cycle offers wash results comparable to 40°c mixed at just 15°C

Wool

All wool garments can be washed using programme‚“Wool“ even those carryng the “hand-wash only “ label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed max kg declaration of laundry.

Delicates

For washing particularly delicate garments. Preferably turn garments inside out before washing.

Synthetics

For washing soiled garments made from synthetic fibres (such as polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or cotton/synthetic blends.

FIRST TIME USE

To remove any manufacturing debris select the “Cotton” programme at a temperature of 60°C. Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into the main wash 2 compartment of the detergent dispenser (maximum 1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer recommends for lightly soiled laundry). Start the programme without adding any laundry.

Pull out the detergent dispenser and add the detergent (and additives/softener) now. Observe the dosing recommendations on the detergent pack. Then close the detergent dispenser and press the “Start/Pause” button. The “Start/Pause” button will lights up and the door will be locked.

Clean+

Clean+ is an option working on 3 different levels (Intensive, Daily and Fast) that are specially designed to set the right washing action, depending on your cleaning needs:

Intensive : this option is designed for high levels of dirtiness, removing most stubborn stains.

Daily: this option is designed to remove everyday stains. Fast : this option is designed to remove lightly soiled stains.

Intensive rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin. Press the button once, two or three times to select an additional 1 +1 , 2 +2 or 3 +3 rinses after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again to go back to the “Normal rinse”rinse type.

FreshCare+

This option enhances washing performance by generating steam to inhibit the proliferation of the main bad odour sources inside the machine. After steam phase, the washing machine will perform gentle tumbling through slow rotations of the drum. FreshCare+ option starts after the cycle ends for a maximum duration of 6h and you can interrupt at any time by pressing any button on control panel or turning the knob.
