Specials wash cycles 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. 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”). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. 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!Bleach cycle Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycles 2, 3, 6. Pour the bleach into compartment 4; pour the detergent and softener into the corresponding compartments, then select one of the abovementioned wash cycles. Load balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
