Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed
appropriate for that particular type of fabric.
When selecting the program you will use, always take
fabric type, color, soil degree and permitted water
temperature into consideration.
Always prefer the lowest temperature value which is fit
to your laundry type. Higher temperature means higher
power consumption.
4.3.1 Programs
• Katoen (Cottons)
Use for your cotton laundry (such as bed sheets, duvet and
pillowcase sets, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.). Your
laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a
longer washing cycle.
• Synthetisch (Synthetics)
Use to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses,
synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). It washes with a gentle action
and has a shorter washing cycle compared to the Cottons
programme.
For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetic 40˚C programme
with prewash and anti-creasing functions selected. As their
meshed texture causes excessive foaming, wash the veils/
tulle by putting little amount of detergent into the main
wash compartment. Do not put detergent in the prewash
compartment.
• Wol (Woollens)
Use to wash your woolen clothes. Select the appropriate
temperature complying with the tags of your clothes. Use
appropriate detergents for woolens.
• Auto Program (Automatic Programme)
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.
• Katoen Eco (Cotton Economic)
Use to wash your normally soiled, durable cotton and
linen laundry. 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), programme time may
automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water
consumption will decrease more, providing a more economic
wash. This programme is available in the models with the
remaining time indicator.
• BabyProtect
Use to wash baby laundry, and the laundry that belongs
to allergic persons. Longer heating time and an additional
rinsing step provide a higher level of hygiene.

gentle washing action compared to the Synthetics
programme.
