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.
Sport: a cycle designed for washing lightly soiled sports clothing
(tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the
maximum load indicated in the "Wash Cycle Table". We recommend using liquid
detergent and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.
Dark: use programme 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This
programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We
recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when washing
dark-coloured garments.
When you select the drying function, at the end of the washing cycle the
machine will automatically perform a delicate drying cycle that preserves the
colours of the garments. The display will show the level "
Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with bad odours
(e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme is designed to remove bad
odours while preserving the fabric fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed
loads should be washed at 40°, and resistant cotton fabrics at 60°.
Delicate: use programme 4 to wash 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.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:
The "Wool" wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark
Company for washing wool garments classified as
"hand-washable", provided that the wash complies with
the instructions appearing on the garment's label and
with those provided by the manufacturer of this washer-
dryer. (M1318)
Rapid 30': this programme is designed to wash lightly soiled garments at
30° (excluding wool and silk) with a 3 kg maximum load in a short time: it
only lasts 30 minutes and allows for saving time and
Cotton 90°+P: suitable for resistant linen and cotton that are heavily soiled.
Standard Cotton 60°C: suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton
garments. At 60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments,
and is the most efficient in terms of combined water and electricity
consumption.
Synthetic: suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of
synthetic fibres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed
synthetic-cotton fibres.
Coloured: a 30°C cycle that helps to preserve colours, suitable for cotton
or synthetic coloured garments. It allows for reducing electricity
consumption for heating the water while guaranteeing
results. Suitable for lightly soiled garments.
Eco Cotton 20°: ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effective
performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable
to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates
at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
Eco Synthetic: ideal for mixed loads (cotton and synthetics) with a
normal soil level. The effective performance levels achieved at cold
temperatures are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at
varying speed, across set average intervals.
Wash&Dry 45': select programme 13 for washing and drying lightly
soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be
used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes. To
achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars
and stains.
AirFresh: ideal cycle to refresh garments and remove bad odours, in
particular smoke, from cotton and synthetic items in 30' (max. 1,5 kg)
without the washing phase.
Rinse/Bleach: designed for rinsing and
Spin + Drain: designed to spin and drain the water.
