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.

Anti Stain

The programme 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 dierent

colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with

special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.

Whites

Heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.

Cotton

Lightly soiled resistant and delicate colours.

Eco Cotton 60° - 40°

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

ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.

Synthetics

Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres

(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.

Anti Allergy Plus

Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or dog hair.

Baby

Use the special wash cycle to remove the soiling typically caused by

babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to

prevent the delicate skin of babies from suering allergic reactions. The

cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a

greater quantity of water and optimising the eect of special disinfecting

additives added to the detergent.

Bed & Bath

Use programme to wash bed linen and towels in one single cycle: it

optimises softener performance and helps you save time and energy. We

recommend the use of powder detergent.

Fast Wash 60’

For washing normal soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool,

silk and garments to be washed by hand.

Fast Wash 30’

For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool,

silk and garments to be washed by hand.

Cotton 20°C

The programme ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The eective

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.

Shirts

Use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in dierent fabrics and colours

to guarantee they receive the best possible care.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark

Company for washing wool garments classied 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 washing

machine. (M1127)

Delicates

inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on

delicate garments. Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results.
