Main programs

Depending on the type of textile, the following main programs are available:

• Cottons

You can wash your durable clothes with this program. Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing movements during a longer washing cycle. It is recommended for your cotton items (such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, bathrobes, underclothing, etc.).

• Synthetics

You can wash your less durable clothes on this program. Gentler washing movements and a shorter washing cycle is used compared to the “Cottons” program. It is recommended for your synthetic clothes (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended garments, etc.). For curtains and lace, the “Synthetic 40” program with pre-wash and anti-creasing functions selected is recommended. Detergent should not be put in the pre-wash compartment. Less detergent should be put in the main wash compartment as loose knit fabrics (lace) foam too much due to its meshed structure.

• Woollens

You can wash your machine-washable woolen garments on this program. Wash by selecting the proper temperature according to the labels of your clothes. It is recommended to use appropriate detergents for woolens.
