Programme selector
The washing machine has 3 different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature and duration for handling the various types of fabric (see wash programme
guide).
1. Colourfast fabric
The programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing.
With spin stages in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly.
The final spin stage ensures laundry is wrung out as much as possible.
2. Mixed fibres and synthetics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation
speeds and water level. The delicate action spin minimises creasing.
3. Delicate fabrics, wool & extra delicate programme
This group of programmes have been specially designed to wash
the most delicate fabrics
Use the Delicate programme for delicate fabrics
Use the Woollens programme only for machine washable wool
Use the extra delicate programme for any machine washable handwash garments
Main wash
Automatic Variable Capacity
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as
Automatic Variable Capacity).
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 in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the
minimum required, 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 amount of
washing.
The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst
respecting the environment and saving you money.

Detergent drawer
The detergent draw is split into 4 compartments:
- the first, labelled "I", is for prewash detergent or for
FAST WASH programme detergent
- the second, labelled "II", is for main wash detergent
If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special
container supplied into the compartment marked “II” in the
detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent
enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle.
Note: some detergents are difficult to remove. For these,
we recommend you use the special dispenser which is
placed in the drum.
- the third, labelled " ", is for bleaching agents.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up the bleach during the first rinse in
cotton cycles.
Note: only put liquid products in the third and fourth
compartments.
- the fourth, labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch,
brighteners etc.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for
all wash cycles.
