For handling the various types of fabric and their level of
soiling in your laundry the washing machine has different
programme groups according to type of wash, temperature,
spin speeds and duration (see Programme Guide).
Cottons
The Cottons programmes are designed for maximum washing
and rinsing. With spin cycles in between, they guarantee the
laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry
is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
The 90°C programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is
particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used
independently of the main wash programme. Detergent for
this programme should be added to the first compartment of
the soap drawer labelled "I" (please refer to the section of this
manual entitled “The Dispenser”). We recommend you use
only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme.
Synthetics and acrylics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum
rotation speeds and water levels. The delicate spin action
minimises creasing. The 60°C programme includes a Prewash
cycle. The final spin speed for the Synthetics programme is
800rpm and for the Acrylics 400rpm.
Delicates and Wool
This is a new concept in washing which is suitable for delicates
and items carrying the symbol. The cycle that 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 30°C
and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a
short spin at 800rpm.
Rinse, Spin and Drain
Individual programmes are available for rinsing, (including the
opportunity to add fabric conditioner); spinning, at the
maximum spin speed or less if selected using the Spin Speed
Selector; and draining the water from the machine.
Special Programmes
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.
