Hygiene
Max. load: 3.5 kg*
Fabric type
Cottons and linen fabrics, which will be in direct contact with the
skin, e.g. underwear, nappies, towelling, bed linen, pillow and
mattress covers.
Note
The temperature is held constant for a longer period of time to
deactivate micro-organisms, e.g. germs or house dustmites, and
also to reduce the number of allergens in the laundry.
This programme should not be interrupted as this would prevent
the micro-organisms from being deactivated.
Warm air
Max. load: 7 kg*
Fabric type
– "Voluminous" and multi-layered fabrics whose layers have
different drying characteristics: e.g. jackets, pillows.
– For drying individual items, e.g. bath towels, swimwear, tea
towels and small loads.
Note
Do not select the longest drying time to start with. Check the items
as you are drying them to find the optimum time.
Tip
You can use the
Warm air
programme to help remove odours from
cotton clothing which has been worn but is still clean (select a
duration of between 1/2 and 1 hour). Items must be suitable for
drying in a tumble dryer. Dampen the garments a little beforehand
or add a fabric conditioner sheet.
The Warm air programme will not be as effective at removing
odours from any parts of the garments which are made of synthetic
fibres.
Gentle smoothing
Max. load: 1 kg*
Fabric type
– Cotton and linen fabrics.
– Minimum iron items made of cotton, synthetic or mixed fibres.
For example: trousers, anoraks, shirts.
Notes
– Suitable for dry and damp laundry/fabrics.
Dry fabrics are time-controlled and damp fabrics are smoothed
using the Hand iron function.
– Smoothes out creasing caused during the spin cycle in the
washing machine.
– Remove garments as soon as the programme has finished so
that they are easy to iron.
