Instructions for installation and use

Daily wash Your washer has a programme available for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.
By setting programme , you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 3 kg. This
programmes allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Important: to cancel the wash programme you have just set, select one of the symbols   (Stop/Reset) and wait for at least 5 seconds.

Special programme

The data found in the table is purely indicative, and can vary according to the quantity and type of washing, the water system temperature and

the room temperature.
