Programme Descriptions
For handling the various types of fabric and their level of dirtiness in your laundry the
washing machine has different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature, spin speed and duration (see Programme Guide).
Once the programme is selected, the intelligent sensor will weigh the laundry using the
KG Mode
and adjust the critical elements of the wash cycle depending on the weight
of the laundry to ensure perfect results (available on Cotton and Synthetic cycle). The
KG Mode is activated during the first 4 minutes of the cycle, which enables the
machine to:
●
adjust the amount of water required;
●
determine the length of the wash cycle;
●
control rinsing according to the fabric type selected;
●
recognises if too much lather is present, adjusting the water level during rinsing if necessary;
●
adjusts the spin speed according to the load, avoiding any imbalance
Cotton with Pre Wash
The Cotton programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With
spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The
final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum
speed.
The Cotton programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is particularly useful for
really dirty loads and can be used independently of the main wash programme.
Additional detergent for the Prewash part of the programme should be added to the
first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "1" (please refer to the section of this
manual entitled “Detergent”). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used
for the main wash programme.
Cottons
The Cottons programme is also designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency.
With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed per-
fectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the
maximum speed. This cycle is set to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using
the Temperature option button.
Synthetics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through using drum rotation speeds
and water levels suitable for synthetics and mixed fabrics. The programme will default
to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using the Temperature option button. The
delicate spin action minimises creasing. The final spin speed for the synthetics
programme is 800rpm
Delicate
The cycle will consist of alternate periods of activity and pauses. This is particularly
suitable for washing very delicate fabrics, as it creates a hand-washing effect.
Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results.
Rinse
This programme carries out three rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be
reduced or excluded by using the Spin Speed option). It can be used for rinsing any
type of fabric e.g. use after hand washing.
Spin
The Spin programme completes the spin at the maximum spin speed, this can be
reduced by using the Spin Speed option button.
Drain
This programme drains out the water from the machine.
Silk
This washing machine also has a gentle Silk and Hand Wash programme.
This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Hand
Wash Only” and laundry items made from silk or specified “Wash as Silk” on the
fabric label.
The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 rinses,
one for fabric conditioner, and no final spin.
Wool
This is a programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the Woolmark symbol .
The cycle consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses. Washing and rinsing are
carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. The programme has a
maximum temperature of 40°C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner,
and a short spin at 800rpm.
Sports
This washing machine has a unique Sportswear programme.
It is specially designed to wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot be washed on
hotter programmes and is designed to remove the dirt and staining created by
participation in sports activities.
This programme washes at a cool 30°C, rinses twice (one is for fabric conditioner)
and spins at 800rpm for the best care of your really dirty, delicate garments.
Rapid
The Rapid programme allows a washing cycle to be completed in just 14 minutes! This
programme is particularly suited to slightly dirty cottons and mixed fabrics.
Using the Wash Time button on the Rapid cycle will enable you to select either a 14,
30 or 44 minute wash cycle.
When selecting the rapid programme, please note that we recommend you use only
20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.
For information about these programmes please refer to the programmes table.
