Programme Descriptions
For handling the various types of fabric and their level of dirtiness in your laundry the
washing machine has different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature, spin speed and duration (see Programme Guide).
Once the programme is selected, the intelligent sensor will weigh the laundry using the
KG Mode and adjust the critical elements of the wash cycle depending on the weight
of the laundry to ensure perfect results (available on Cotton and Synthetic cycle). The
KG Mode is activated during the first 4 minutes of the cycle, which enables the machine to:
● adjust the amount of water required;
● determine the length of the wash cycle;
● control rinsing according to the fabric type selected;
● recognises if too much lather is present, adjusting the water level during rinsing if necessary;
● adjusts the spin speed according to the load, avoiding any imbalance
Cotton with Pre Wash
The Cotton programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With
spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The
final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
The Cotton programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is particularly useful for really
dirty loads and can be used independently of the main wash programme. Additional deter-
gent for the Prewash part of the programme should be added to the first compartment of the
soap drawer labelled "1" (please refer to the section of this manual entitled “Detergent”). We
recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme.
Coloureds
The Cottons programme is also designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency.
With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed
perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to
the maximum speed. This cycle is set to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered
using the Temperature option button.
Synthetics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through using drum rotation speeds
and water levels suitable for synthetics and mixed fabrics. The programme will default
to 40°C, but the temperature may be altered using the Temperature option button. The
delicate spin action minimises creasing. The final spin speed for the synthetics
programme is 800rpm
Delicate
The cycle will consist of alternate periods of activity and pauses. This is particularly
suitable for washing very delicate fabrics, as it creates a hand-washing effect.
Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results.
Rinse
This programme carries out three rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be
reduced or excluded by using the Spin Speed option). It can be used for rinsing any
type of fabric e.g. use after hand washing.
Spin
The Spin programme completes the spin at the maximum spin speed, this can be
reduced by using the Spin Speed option button.
Drain
This programme drains out the water from the machine.
Wool & Silk
This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Machine-
Washable” Wool fabrics and laundry items made from silk or specified “Wash as Silk”
on the fabric label. The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C and
concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a slow spin.
“A” Wash 59'
This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance
identified with the “A” rating whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The progrramme is
designed for a maximum load of 3 kg with a temperature of 60°C and concludes
with 2 rinses and a high speed spin sequence.
Sports
This washing machine has a unique Sportswear programme. It is specially designed to
wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot be washed on hotter programmes and is
designed to remove the dirt and staining created by participation in sports activities.
This programme washes at a cool 30°C, rinses twice (one is for fabric conditioner)
and spins at 800rpm for the best care of your really dirty, delicate garments.
Rapid
The Rapid programme allows a washing cycle to be completed in just 14 minutes! This
programme is particularly suited to slightly dirty cottons and mixed fabrics.
Using the Wash Time button on the Rapid cycle will enable you to select either a 14,
30 or 44 minute wash cycle.
When selecting the rapid programme, please note that we recommend you use only
20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.
For information about these programmes please refer to the programmes table.

** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and
No 1061/2010
COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 60°C
COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 40°C
These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are
the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions
for washing cotton laundry.
These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the
wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from
the declared temperature of the cycle.
