4.3.5 Main programmes
Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes.
•
Cottons
You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this
programme. When you press the quick wash function key, programme duration becomes notably shorter but
effective washing is ensured thanks to intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is not selected,
superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Synthetics
You can use this programme to wash t-shirts, synthetic/cotton mix fabrics etc. Programme duration is notably
shorter and efficient washing performance is ensured. If the quick wash function is not selected, superior
washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Woollens / Hand Wash
Use this programme to wash your woollen/delicate clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with
the tag of your clothes. Your laundry will be washed with very delicate movements to avoid any damage.
4.3.6 Additional programmes
For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.

INFORMATION
Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.
•
Eco 40-60
The eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60
°C, together in the same cycle, and that this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign
legislation.
Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water
temperature may be different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g.
½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water
consumption will decrease.
• Hygiene
Applying a steam step at the beginning of the programme allows to soften the dirt easily.
Use this programme for your laundry (baby clothes, bed sheets, bedlinen, underwear, etc. cotton items) for which
you require an anti-allergic and hygienic washing at high temperature with intensive and long washing cycle. The
high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the steam application before the programme, long heating duration and
additional rinsing step.

clothes whose colour you wish to preserve.
