[. . . ] 6 Special wash cycles Permanent press (wash cycle 3) this cycle has less mechanical agitation and spinnig speed designed to reduce wrinkles. Mixed Load (wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at WARM temperature), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 6. Bright White (wash cycle 6) Use this cycle when bleaching with hypoclorite based products. Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser drawer”). Active wear (wash cycle 8) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc. ); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load. This wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent. At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button. (wash cycle 10) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (10 at WARM temperature), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3. For this cycle we recommend pretreating stains, shirt necks and wrists with specific antistain products. The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display. 9 Personalisation NA Setting the temperature By pressing the TEMPERATURE button to set the wash temperature.
