WASH CYCLES

Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment's wash
care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum
recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Daily Mix Wash&Dry
use programme 1 to wash and dry mixed garments (cotton and
synthetics). This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3,5 kg;
we recommend the use of liquid detergent.
The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the
formation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Shirts&T-Shirts
Use programme 2 to wash and dry shirts and T-shirts in different fabrics
and colours to ensure maximum care. This cycle may be used to wash and
dry loads of up to 2 kg. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent
and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains. The use of the steam in this
programme is optimised to reduce the formation of creases on garments,
making them easier to iron.
Pre Iron
Use this programme immediately before ironing; max. 1,5 kg load. The
use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the formation
of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Steam Refresh
For refreshing garments, neutralised unpleasant odours and relaxing the
fibres by delivering steam into the drum. The garments will be damp at
the end of the cycle.
Cotton
Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of
resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.
Synthetic
Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic fibres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.
Antistain Quick
This cycle is ideal for washing daily stains in 45' . It is ideal for mixed fabrics
and coloured garments.
If the drying option is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Dryness level "A2" recommended.
Antistain 100
This cycle is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It
ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class).
When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours.
We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special
additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.
If the drying option is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added

exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Dryness level "A2" recommended.
White
For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.
Eco Cotton
Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and
60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most
efficient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.
Coloureds
For washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised to
keep colours bright even after repeated washing.
Ultradelicates
For washing very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments
inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on
delicate garments.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle
is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate,
thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the
water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.

once the cycle starts, the time remaining to the latter's end (the display will
show the maximum duration of the selected cycle which may decrease

Moreover, pressing the relative button allows for visualising the maximum
values for the temperature, spin speed or type of drying relative to the
