Programme selector
For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different
programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of
washing cycle programmes).
1 RESISTANTS FABRICS
The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the
rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.
The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.
AA SPECIAL PROGRAMME AT 40°C
This special programme has been studied to allow you to obtain the
best washing performance, even at full load, as the 60°C Cotton
programme (the normative cycle), but with the advantage of an
energy saving due to 40°C temperature, instead of 60°C.
2 MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS
The main wash and rinse gives the best results thanks to the
rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.
A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.
3 SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking
and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. The
wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to
ensure best results.
