 Super Wash

This option offers a high-

performance wash due to the 

greater quantity of water used 

in the initial phase of the cycle, 

and due to the increased wash 

cycle duration, is particular-

ly useful for the removal of 

stubborn stains. It can be used 

with 

or 

without 

bleach. If you 

desire bleaching, insert the 

extra tray compartment (

4

in the bleach, be careful not to 

exceed the “max” level marked 

on the central pivot 

(see figure). 

To bleach laundry without 

carrying out a full wash cycle

compartment

Eco Wash

The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the 

water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the 

environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash 

action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the 

same average time of a standard cycle. 

For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a 

liquid detergent.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors 

such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
