Mix 15’

(wash cycle 5) 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 (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together 

(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Sanitizing cycle

 (wash cycle 6). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach.  Pour the 

bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled 

“Detergent dispenser drawer”

).

Goodnigt cycle

 (wash cycle 7). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. The 

wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in the 

drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively the machine will perform the spin cycle and 

drain the water automatically after 8 hours.

Eco cycles

The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your 

energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco programmes (Cotton 

11

, Synthetics 

12

 and Fast Wash 

13

)  are 

available for various fabrics and different quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning 

action even at low temperature and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads. 

Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the 

same average time of a standard cycle. 

For the best washing results with Eco Cycles we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

For all Test Institutes:

1) Control programmes according to 1061/2010 directive: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 60°C and 40°C.

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for 

garments which can be washed at 60°C and 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C. 

3) Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.

4) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.

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.
