The option optimises washing to suit the quantity of laundry loaded into the machine, thereby reducing the overall button to select the type of wash wash cycle duration while minimising water and energy consumption. Press the cycle desired: Intense: vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy soil level. Perform: standard wash cycle for garments with a normal soil level. Fast: quick wash cycle for garments with a light soil level. This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (all three levels) and 6, 7, 8 (Perform and Fast levels).

Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this programme. Sport Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously. Load balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load. Garments requiring special care Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases. 10 Precautions and tips !This washing machine was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations.
