SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results. SPECIAL "RINSE" PROGRAMME This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing. 29 MINUTE RAPID PROGRAMME The 29 minute rapid programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 30 minutes, with up to a maximum load of 2 kg and a temperature of 40°C. When selecting the "29 minute rapid" programme, please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack. 15 SPECIAL "SPIN" PROGRAMME Programme "SPIN" carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by using the correct button). 14 Auto half load The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system. 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 of the water and electricity used, 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 clothes load. The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment . Detergent drawer The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments: - the compartment labelled "1" is for prewash detergent; - the compartment labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc; - the compartment labelled "2" is for main wash detergent. R NOTE: Some Detergents are Difficult to utilise. Ensure to use an in drum dispenser if recommended by the detergent Manufacturer. Follow those instructions. Liquid detergent dosage Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents. 18 19 Useful advice for users Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way Main wash Sorting the laundry It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items. If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them. Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and treatment of the laundry Laundry for hot wash Coloured, easy-care materials Delicates and wool Wash by hand Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing: Dry clean For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc. , you are advised to use a laundry net or wash bag. Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the machine , and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable". Colour often leaks from new coloured items. This can then colour other lighter items being washed. We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately. For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C. Do a full load in your washing machine To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the recommended maximum load size. Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes - When is prewashing really needed? Only with particularly dirty loads!Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled laundry. Which wash temperature should you choose? Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60°C. Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than 90°C - Note: when sorting laundry check there are no metal objects in the laundry (such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins etc. . . ); button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords; remove curtain hooks; pay close attention to the labels on items if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the laundry, remove them using a special detergent or a special stain remover. - We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too heavy since they absorb a lot of water. 20 21 The correct way to wash Preparing the laundry A) Select the laundry.
