Specials wash cycles
Mix 15'(wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together
(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Sanitizing cycle (wash cycle 6). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach. Pour
the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled "Detergent dispenser
drawer").
Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 7). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. The
wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in the
drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively the machine will perform the spin cycle and
drain the water automatically after 8 hours.
