Cycle

duration

(*) The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

(*)Note: 10 minutes after the START, the machine will recalculate the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle on the basis of the load inside it; this value will then be shown on the display.

For all Test Institutes:

1)Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle with a temperature of 60°C.

2)Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle with a temperature of 40°C.

3)Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle with a temperature of 40°C.

Wash options

Steam Hygiene

This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during the wash cycle that eliminates any bacteria from fibres while treating them at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible programme and select option “ “.

!The steam generated during washer dryer operation may cause the porthole door to become hazy.

!It cannot be used in conjunction with , (90°C), , , , , , , , , , , .

Extra rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for skin which is sensitive to detergents. We recommend this option is used with a full load of washing, or when a large amount of detergent is required.

Time Saver

If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be reduced by 30%-50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

Eco Option

The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle.

For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
