Programme Chart

Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry. The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected programme.
During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the drum doesn’t rotate or doesn’t rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the appliance.
No temperature indicator is on .

Programme options compatibility

When you set this option, we recommend that you decrease the quantity of the laundry. It is possible to keep the full load but the washing results can be unsatisfactory. Recommended load: cotton: 4,5 kg, synthetics and delicates: 2,5 kg.

Consumption values

The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maximum loadcapacity. During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculatedand can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 9 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme duration don’t reach 1 hour). When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks in the display.

Hints and tips

The laundry load

Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
Do not wash together white and coloured items.
Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first times.
Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations.
Remove hard stains.
Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.
Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
Do not wash in the appliance laundry without hems or with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).
A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again.

Stubborn stainsFor some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

Detergents and additives

Only use detergents and additives specially made for washing machines:– powder detergents for all types of fabric,– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
