Special programmes

Daily 30' (programme 9 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (9 at 30˚C), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3kg.

We recommend the use of liquid detergent.
