WHITE COTTON 60°
Designed for the washing of all durable white cotton
garments. Higher washing temperatures offer improved
washing results in Class A appliances.
COLOUR MIX 40° / EASY-IRON
This programme can be used to wash all your coloured
garments, whether cotton or synthetic fabric. The spin
cycle is carefully controlled during the entire wash cycle,
so as to reduce the formation of creases in the fabric
and make it easier to iron.
Cotton and synthetic garments can be washed at the
same time.
DELICATES 30°
A cycle designed for the washing of all woollen, silk and
delicate garments. As these garments have different
features, this programme requires an activation
process which is different from the others:
+
DELICATES CYCLE WITH FINAL SPIN (for
woollen garments): press the START DELICATES
PROGRAMME
button. After approximately 3
seconds, the START DELICATES PROGRAMME
and START DAILY WASH PROGRAMME buttons
begin to flash. Press the START DELICATES
PROGRAMME
button to perform the wash, which
ends with a delicate spin cycle. This programme
includes drum movements which have been carefully
researched to remove excess water from the fabric,
thereby reducing friction and helping to protect your
woollen garments.
+
DELICATES CYCLE WITH SPIN PHASE
EXCLUDED (for silk and viscose garments and for
curtains; not to be used for washing wool):
press the START DELICATES PROGRAMME
button. After approximately 3 seconds, the START
DELICATES PROGRAMME
and START DAILY
WASH PROGRAMME buttons begin to flash. Press
the START DAILY WASH PROGRAMME button to
perform the wash without the final spin cycle. At the
end of the cycle, the machine will automatically drain
the water contained in the drum. We recommend that
the garments are removed from the washing machine
straight away, in order to limit the formation of creases.
DAILY WASH 30 / COLD WATER RINSE
This programme can be used to wash lightly soiled
cotton or synthetic fabrics, or garments with the "wash
at 30°"
instruction on the label, in just 30 minutes. It
is also possibile to rinse cotton or synthetic garments
which have been washed by hand (this does not include
wool or silk).
Thanks to its special sensors, the washing machine
is able to recognise when the garments placed in the
drum have detergent on them.
- if no detergent is detected on the clothes, the DAILY
WASH 30' cycle will be performed;
- if detergent is detected (cloths which have been
washed by hand), the COLD WATER RINSE cycle will
be performed automatically.
AUTOMATIC RINSE MANAGEMENT
The rinse function is monitored and controlled in every
programme by special sensors. If the garments are
very soapy at the end of the wash, the rinse cycle
will be extended automatically until the detergent is
removed completely. In this case the wash
programme duration may be slightly increased in relation
to the information given in the table of programmes.
The duration of the programmes indicated in the table are for guidance purposes only, and are calculated based on an average load quantity.
