5.9 SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE AND SELECTING PROGRAMMES

The washing machine has the following basic programmes which, by adjusting the temperature and using the various button functions, allow a wide range of programmes to be set for all requirements.

Intensive washing programme

for resistant cotton, coloured or hemp fabrics.

Delicate washing programmes

for delicate artificial synthetic fibres, blends or linen fabrics.

They prevent the formation of creases that are difficult to remove during ironing.

Wool programme

only for garments marked “pure wool” washable, treated, shrink proof. Other types of wool should be hand washed or dry-cleaned.

To select programmes according to the type of fabric, consult the “Programme chart” supplied together with this manual.
