Programme selector
For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has
different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and lenght of cycle (see
table of washing cycle programmes).
COTTONS
The Cottons programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing
efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the
laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry
as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
The Cotton programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is
particularly useful for really dirty loads and can be used independently of
the main wash programme. Additional detergent for the Prewash part of
the programme should be added to the first compartment of the soap
“Detergent”). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for
the main wash programme.
MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS
The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation
rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.
A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.
SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is
particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics.
The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure
best results.
WOOL PROGRAMME
The special cycle enables to thoroughly wash garments without
damaging them. The cycle comprises of alternate periods of activity and
pauses. The programme has a maximum temperature of 40°C and
concludes with 3 rinses and a short spin.
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME
This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which
can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used
for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.
