Table of wash cycles

Cotton Standard 20°

 (wash cycle 

7

) ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold 

temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying 

speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Express 

(wash cycle 

11

) 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 (

11

 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics toge-

ther (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg.

Sport Intensive

 (wash cycle 

12

) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best 

results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the 

“Table of wash cycles”

.

Sport Ligh

t

 (wash cycle 

13

) 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.

Special Shoes

 (wash cycle 

14

) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simulta-

neously.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 60°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. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 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 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

For all Test Institutes:

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

3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6; 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 accor-

ding 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.
