Operating the product

• Auto Program

Use to wash your frequently washable cotton, synthetic or blended (synthetic) clothes. 

Programme detects the type and quantity of the laundry to automatically adjust water consumption and 

programme time.

A

CAUTION: 

Do not wash your woolen and delicate clothes in this programme.

Select a suitable temperature if the temperature shown on the temperature display is not compatible 

with the warnings on the garment label.

The maximum washing temperature in Automatic programme depending on the soiling level and 

laundry type is 60ºC. Washing performance may not be at the desired level for heavily soiled whites 

and stubborn stains (collar, sock soil, perspiration stain, etc.). In this case, it is recommended to select 

Cottons programme with prewash and set the temperature to 50-60°C.

Many types of clothing are correctly detected and safely washed in Automatic programme.

Suitable clothes and the appropriate Automatic programme settings for washing them are shown in the 

table below.

fabrics are related with the quality of the cloth, and do not arise from washing programmes (Automatic or other 

washing programmes). Use "Sportswear" washing programme for knitted clothes.
