Cotton Standard 20°C: this programme is 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.

Special wash cycles
Anti Stain: this programme is suitable to
wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the |
products are washed according to the instructions on the |
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this |
washing machine. (M1135) |
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.
Delicates: use programme 8 to wash very delicate garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and sequins.
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 8 and set the “Delicate” level from option “Cleaning Action”.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced SPIN . If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spin- ning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal- ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
