Selecting the wash
programme
Your washing machine offers you a wide
range of programmes which will enable
you to wash all types of clothing.
It has 2 types of PROGRAMME:
1.- NORMAL WASH PROGRAMMES, for
resistant fabrics.
2.- DELICATE WASH PROGRAMMES, for
delicate fabrics.
The wash systems included in your was-
hing machine are ideal for washing both
cotton and synthetic garments, as well as
woollen, silk or acrylic garments.
Basically, what varies between PROGRAM-
MES is the drum rotation speed, tempera-
ture, wash time and water level.
In general, the NORMAL, cycles are best
for washing resistant fabrics like cotton,
resistant synthetics, linen, etc., whilst the
DELICATE cycles, with slower drum rota-
tion speeds, lower temperature and higher
water levels, are for synthetic fabrics, wool,
silk, etc.
The models which have the wash tempera-
ture selector control have an automatic
variable load control feature, which auto-
matically adjusts the consumption of water
and electricity to the a quantity of clothes to
be washed.
Programme tables
There follows a number of detailed PRO-
GRAMME TABLES. Please consult them, as
they will provide you with information
about the different wash programmes
which your washing machine offers.
An abbreviated version of the table can be
found on the front or top panel of the deter-
gent dispenser, or on a card included in
the documentation bag.
