Press WASH PROGRAMME button to the START DAILY WASH PROGRAMME perform the wash without the final spin cycle. At the end of the cycle, the machine will automatically drain the water contained in the drum. We recommend that the garments are removed from the washing machine straight away, in order to limit the formation of creases. DAILY WASH 30 / COLD WATER RINSE This programme can be used to wash lightly soiled cotton or synthetic fabrics, or garments with the "wash instruction on the label, in just 30 minutes. It at 30°" is also possibile to rinse cotton or synthetic garments which have been washed by hand (this does not include wool or silk). Thanks to its special sensors, the washing machine is able to recognise when the garments placed in the drum have detergent on them. - if no detergent is detected on the clothes, the DAILY WASH 30' cycle will be performed; - if detergent is detected (cloths which have been washed by hand), the COLD WATER RINSE cycle will be performed automatically. AUTOMATIC RINSE MANAGEMENT The rinse function is monitored and controlled in every programme by special sensors. If the garments are very soapy at the end of the wash, the rinse cycle will be extended automatically until the detergent is removed completely. In this case the wash programme duration may be slightly increased in relation to the information given in the table of programmes. 9 *Note: Detergents and laundry GB Preparing the laundry Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label; - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites. Do not exceed the load values indicated for the Wash programmes. How much does your laundry weigh? 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 sheet 400-500 g pillow case 150-200 g tablecloth 400-500 g bathrobe 900-1. 200 g towel 150-250 g pair of jeans 400-500 g shirt 150-200 g Washing recommendations Bed and bathroom laundry (sheets, towels, bathrobes, etc. ): use the WHITE COTTON programme which guarantees the most efficient wash in Class A appliances. White cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts, tablecloths, etc. ): use the WHITE COTTON 60° programme. If there are any stubborn stains, they should be pre-treated with solid soap before the wash cycle is started. Coloured cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts, underwear, etc. ): use the COLOUR MIX 40° programme, which maximises the performance of the wash without damaging the colours. The spin cycle phase, thanks to the incorporated EASY IRON function, reduces the formation of creases at the end of the wash, making the fabric easier to iron. White or coloured synthetic garments (shirts, T-shirts, underwear, etc. ): use the COLOUR MIX programme. We recommend that white 40° and coloured garments are not washed in the same wash cycle, to prevent any colour leakage from seeping into the white clothing. Coloured synthetic and cotton garments, with instruction on the care label: use wash at 30° programme. The low the DAILY WASH 30 washing temperature protects the coloured fabrics. Woollen garments (jumpers, scarves, etc. ): use the DELICATES 30° programme with final spin + . The movement of the drum during the wash and the delicate spin cycle reduces fabric matting.
