[. . . ] Active wear (wash cycle 8) 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. This wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent. At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button. (wash cycle 10) 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 (10 at WARM temperature), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3. For this cycle we recommend pretreating stains, shirt necks and wrists with specific antistain products. 9 Personalisation NA Setting the temperature By pressing the TEMPERATURE button to set the wash temperature. (See Table of wash cycles) Wash temperature can be set selecting , “Cold”, “Warm”, “Hot” or 2 in-between positions which correspond to intermediate levels of water temperature (example: the position between “cold” and “warm” is lukewarm). See below for the indication in °C and °F for each temperature position. The available selections are: • • • • • • • • Cold Warm Hot Tap water 15 °C/ 59 °F 20 °C/ 68 °F 25 °C/ 77 °F 30 °C/ 86 °F 35 °C/ 95 °F 40 °C/ 104 °F 57 °C / 134 °F HOT COLD WARM Setting the spin speed Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows: Wash cycles Maximum spin speed Cottons 1200 rpm only Synthetics 800 rpm Wool 600 rpm Silk drain only The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle. Note: For the first two Programmes (Cottons Regular and Cottons Colored) the garments will be spun at maximum speed. This allows to get the most from the spinning phase and reduce time and energy needed for the drying. Functions The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time. The function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated. Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle. Delay timer This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours. Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on.
