Programme selector
The washing machine has 3 different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature and duration for handling the various types of fabric (see wash programme
guide).
1. Colourfast fabric
The programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing.
With spin stages in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly.
The final spin stage ensures laundry is wrung out as much as possible.
2. Mixed fibres and synthetics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation
speeds and water level. The delicate action spin minimises creasing.
3. Delicate fabrics, wool & extra delicate programme
This group of programmes have been specially designed to wash
the most delicate fabrics
Use the Delicate programme for delicate fabrics
Use the Woollens programme only for machine washable wool
Use the extra delicate programme for any machine washable handwash garments
Main wash
Automatic Variable Capacity
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as
Automatic Variable Capacity).
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the
minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of
washing.
The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst
respecting the environment and saving you money.
