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.

Mixed

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

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 40-60

For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. This is the standard cotton programme and the most efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.

Sport

For washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.). For best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the‚‘‘PROGRAMME CHART‘‘. We recommend using liquid detergent , and adding the amount suitable for half-load.

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.

Steam Refresh

This programme refreshes garments by removing bad odours and

relaxing the fibres (2 kg, roughly 3 items). 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.

!Not recommended for wool or silk garments.

!Do not add softeners or detergents.

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 Min

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

20°C

For washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a temperature of 20 °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.

Eco Cotton

FIRST TIME USE
