Special wash cycles
Permanent (wash cycle 3) Press this cycle has less mechanical agitation and spinning speed designed to reduce
wrinkles.
Mixed Load (wash cycle 4) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minu-
tes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (4 at WARM temperature), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 6.6 lb - (3 kg).
Quick Wash & Dry (wash cycle 5) was designed to wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle may be
used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 2.20 lb - (1 kg) in just 60 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.
Bright White (wash cycle 6) 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 7) 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.
Lightly Soiled 15 min. (wash cycle 8) 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 (8 at WARM temperature), it is
possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3.30 lb - (1.5 kg).
For this cycle we recommend pretreating stains, shirt necks and wrists with specific antistain products.
