Cotton Standard 20°
(wash cycle
4
) ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold
temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying
speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
Outwear (wash cycle 7 ) is studied for washing water-repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon); for
best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if necessary; do not
use softeners or detergents containing softeners.
Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this programme.
Express (wash cycle 11 ) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( 11 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics toge-
ther (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg.
Sport Intensive (wash cycle 12 ) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results,
we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles” .
Sport Light (wash cycle 13 ) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we
recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid deter-
gent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Special Shoes
(wash cycle
14
) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.
Wash cycles
Table of wash cycles
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments
which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments
which can be washed at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
For all Test Institutes:
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6; with a temperature of 40°C.
The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-
ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
