For handling the various types of fabric and their level of
soiling in your laundry the washing machine has different
programme groups according to type of wash, temperature,
spin speeds and duration (see Programme Guide).
Cottons
The Cottons programmes are designed for maximum washing
and rinsing. With spin cycles in between, they guarantee the
laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry
is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
The 90°C programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is
particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used
independently of the main wash programme. Detergent for
this programme should be added to the first compartment of
the soap drawer labelled "I" (please refer to the section of
this manual entitled “The Dispenser”). We recommend you
use only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme.
AA 40
This special programme has been created to allow you to obtain the best washing performance with a
full load, as the 60°C Colourfast, but with the advantage of the cycle being at 40°C. This gives energy
savings by reducing the temperature from 60°C to 40°C. The final spin speed is 1000rpm.
Synthetics and mixed fabrics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water levels. The
delicate spin action minimises creasing. The 50°C programme includes a prewash cycle. The final spin
speed for the synthetics programme is 800rpm and for the Acrylics 400rpm.
Delicates
This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses,
particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high
water level to provide the best results.
Special Programmes
Drying
Note: Dispensers used for concentrated powders and liquid detergents must be removed from the drum
before commencing the tumble drying programmes.
The load is dried in thermostatically controlled warm air. The drum changes direction during the drying
cycle to prevent the laundry from tangling and hence produce even drying. Cool air is used during the
last ten minutes of the drying cycle to minimise creasing.
High Dry
High temperature drying programme for Cottons and linen items, always refer to the care label
Low Dry
Low temperature drying programme for synthetics and mixed fibres, always refer to the care label.
Spin, Drain and Rinse
Individual programmes are available for spinning, at the maximum spin speed or less if selected using the
Spin Speed Selector; Draining the water from the machine and Rinsing, (including the opportunity to add
fabric conditioner).
