The washing programme
The washing machine has 12 programmes
and 8 additional programmes such as
"rinse" or "spin only" (see charts pages
14-17). Each washing programme is
designed for a specific type of fabric, for
example cotton, nylon mixed fabrics such
as polycotton, etc.
They follow the International Textile
Care Labelling Code (ITCLC) which is
used for wash labels on garments and
household linen as well as. on washing
powder packets. This makes it simple to
choose the right programme for the fabric
you are washing.
The energetic wash cycles for robust
fabrics (B-G) are completely automatic
taking the clothes through washing,
rinsing, spinning and draining.
The Gentle wash cycles (L-S) are for
minimum iron, drip dry and delicate
fabrics. The machine stops after the last
rinse before the water draining and
spinning.
The clothes are left suspended in water to
prevent them becoming creased by
remaining in the bottom of the wash tub
in a damp state after spinning.
To complete the cycle, turn the
programme selector dial to cycle V for
water draining followed by a short spin,
or to cycle Z for drain only if you are
washing drip dry articles.
