Main programmes

Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes.

• Cottons

Use this programme for your cotton laundry (such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.

• Synthetics

Use this programme to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). It washes with a gentle action and has a shorter washing cycle compared to the Cottons programme.

For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetic 40˚C programme with prewash and anti-creasing functions selected. As their meshed texture causes excessive foaming, wash the veils/tulle by putting little amount of detergent into the main wash compartment. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment.

• Woollens

Use this programme to wash your woolen clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tags of your clothes. Use appropriate detergents for woolens.

For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.
