the room temperature.

Special programmes

Class A at 40°C Your washer has a special programme to allow you to obtain optimum results even at low temperatures.

By setting programme 4 at a temperature of 40° C, the results you will obtain will be the same as you would normally obtain at 60°C thanks

to the washing machine’s action and the length of the wash cycle.

Daily wash Your washer has a programme available for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.

By setting programme 9 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a

maximum load of 3 kg. This programmes allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes.

We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?

For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT

selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to

reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.

SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
