QUICK WASH PROGRAMME:
Programme H - a 30 minute wash at 30˚ for delicate synthetics - your machine has programme
designed to wash lightly soiled items in a short amount of time. By setting programme H at a temperature of 30˚, you can wash
different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3kg. This programme allows you to save on both
time and and energy as it only lasts approximately 30 minutes. We recommend that you use liquid detergent and pour it into the wash
compartment of the detergent dispenser.
Use programme B with a temperature of 60˚C and without any buttons selected for the IEC 456 test.
