[. . . ] 30 Max Max Max 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. A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C), use this cycle if you specifically need to hygienize your garments or if you have an extremely soiled load; this cycle optimizes the action of ble¬ach. Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser drawer”). Bright White (wash cycle 7) 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 9) 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. (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. 9 Personalisation NA Setting the temperature By pressing the TEMPERATURE button to set the wash temperature. (See Table of wash cycles) Wash temperature can be set selecting , “Cold”, “Warm”, “Hot” or 2 in-between positions which correspond to intermediate levels of water temperature (example: the position between “cold” and “warm” is lukewarm). See below for the indication in °C and °F for each temperature position. The available selections are: • • • • • • Cold Warm Hot Tap water 15 °C/ 59 °F 20 °C/ 68 °F 40 °C/ 104 °F 57 °C / 134 °F 75 °C / 167 °F Setting the spin speed By pressing the SPIN SPEED button to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows: Wash cycles Cottons Synthetics Wool Silk Maximum spin speed 1400 rpm only 800 rpm 600 rpm drain only The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle. Note: For the first two Programmes (Cottons Regular and Cottons Colored) the garments will be spun at maximum speed. This allows to get the most from the spinning phase and reduce time and energy needed for the drying. Functions The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
