Selecting the washing
programme
Yours is a multiprogramme washing machi-
ne which is adaptable to washing all types
of garments
To this end there are two types of program-
mes incorporated:
1.- NORMAL PROGRAMMES, ideal for
resistant garments.
2.- DELICATE PROGRAMMES, ideal for
washing delicate garments
The washing systems incorporated into
your washing machine are specially desig-
ned for washing cotton and synthetic mate-
rials as well as woollen, silk and acrylic
garments.
The basic differences between the PRO-
GRAMMES is the drum’s rotation rhythm,
as well as the temperature, the duration of
the washing programme and the level of
water.
The NORMAL Cycles are generally the
ones to use for washing resistant materials
such as cotton, resistant synthetics, linen,
etc., whereas the DELICATE Cycles with
their gentler drum rhythm movement,
lower temperatures and higher levels of
water are designed for washing synthetic
materials, as well as materials such as
wool, silk, etc. All models which have a
Washing Temperature Selection Control
also have an automatic variable load regu-
lator which ensures that the water and
energy consumption are automatically
adjusted to the amount of clothing which is
going to be washed.
Table of programmes
Here is a detailed table of all the washing
machine programmes. Make sure that you
refer to it, for it gives you all of the informa-
tion relating to the different kinds of was-
hing programmes which your washing
machine offers you.
An abbreviated version of the table can be
found on the front or top panel of the deter-
gent dispenser, or on a card included in
the documentation bag.
Remember that as well as the following
washing programmes,
your washing
machine also has two types of drying pro-
grammes:
Programme S: Normal Drying
Programme D: Delicate Drying
