PROGRAMMES

the laundry. The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum
temperature possible for washing the garment.

synthetic bres and mixed bres.

(White) Whites

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 ecient in terms of water and energy
consumption.

Bed linen

optimises softner performance and helps you save time and energy. We
recommend to use powder detergent.

Sport

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 bres (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.
