Special programme Daily (programme 11 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (11 at 30°C), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. We recommend the use of liquid detergent. 10 Personalisations Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 10). The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ). Setting the temperature GB Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected. The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows: Programmes Maximum spin speed Cottone 1200 rpm Synthetics 800 rpm Wool 600 rpm Silk no . The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for each programme. Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set frequency. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning. The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes. Setting the spin speed Functions To enable a function: 1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below; 2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated. Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the programme set. Function Effect Delays the start of the wash by up to 9 hours.

B. : Once you have pressed the Start/Reset button, the delay can only be decreased if you wish to modify it. Please remember to pour the bleach into extra compartment 4 (see page 12).
