7. SIMPLIFIED SETTING OF A WASHING PROGRAMME
7.1 STRUCTURE OF A WASHING PROGRAMME
Every washing programme consists of two modules, which are carried out in sequence by minimum 1 mod-
ule up to a maximum of 9 modules.
Every module can be defined as:
Soak
Generally used to pre-treat (cold mode) laundry and soften the stains that are
difficult to remove.
Pre-wash
Generally used to pre-treat (in cold and hot mode) laundry and soften stains
that are difficult to remove, especially those having organic origin.
Wash
The actual programme wash phase. Usually, it involves the use of hot water or
water heating.
Rinse
Used to remove the detergent used in the previous modules and to impregnate
the fabric with softener during the last rinse.
Spin
Usually, every module ends with a spin phase. However, depending on the re-
quirements, it is also possible to program one simple spin.
According to this distinction, the module identification icon changes, as well as the initial definition of the wa
-
ter load via the dispenser. For example, we can have two modules programmed in the same way but one is
defined as pre-wash and the other as wash. These will have two different identification icons and, most of all,
the water load via dispenser will allow the passage via tank A for the first one and B+C for the second one.
All the appliances are set in the factory with a certain number of washing programmes, which meet the most
common work requirements.

Attention!
•
Each module contains the same programming functions, regardless of
how it was defined;
•
If a module is defined as "spin", settings linked to water management
(loading/draining/heating/detergents, etc.) will not be possible.
•
Each module can program one spin: therefore, it consists of a part that
manages the water and another part where the water is eliminated via
spin.
7.2 STRUCTURE OF A MODULE
Each MODULE has the same structure; therefore, once a module has been analysed, we can say we have
analysed all the others, regardless of how they are defined.
Each module contains 16 STEPS, which must be programmed to define all the functions and activities of the
