Programme selector
For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different
programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of
washing cycle programmes).
RESISTANTS FABRICS
The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the
rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.
The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.
SPECIAL "ECO" PROGRAMME
This special programme has been developed to allow you to obtain
the best washing performance, even at full load, as the 60°C Cotton
programme (the normal cycle) but with the advantage of an energy
saving due to 40°C temperature, instead of 60°C.
MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS
The main wash and the rinse provides the best results due to the
rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.
A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.
SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is
particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. The wash cycle
and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME
This programme carries out three rinses with a spin at 800 rpm. It can
be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.
SPECIAL “SPIN” PROGRAMME
Programme “SPIN” carries out a spin at 800 rpm.
DRAIN ONLY
This programme drains out the water.
WOOLLENS PROGRAMME

SPECIAL “HAND WASH” PROGRAMME
This washing machine also has a gentle Silk and Hand Wash
programme cycle.
This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments
specified as “Hand Wash only” and laundry items made from Silk on
the fabric label. The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C
and concludes with 2 rinses and no final spin.
SPORTS WEAR
The washing machine has a unique "Sports Wear" programme.
It is specially designed to wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot
be washed on hotter programmes and is designed to remove the soil
and staining created by participation in sports activities. This
programme starts with a cold prewash that breaks down and loosens
any excess dirt and then washes at a cool 30°C, rinses and spins
slowly for the best care of your heavily soiled, delicate garments.
DAILY WASH 59'

performance whilst greatly reducing the wash time.
The programme 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.

By maintaining exceptional washing performance, these programmes
allow you to know in advance the necessary time for your everyday
