Delicates/Silk
Delicates/Silk settings are intended for
use with delicate easy care items made
of cotton, satin, synthetic or blended
fabrics and curtains, dresses, skirts
and blouses. No spinning between
rinse cycles.
Hand wash
Hand Wash settings are intended for
very delicate easy care items that
usually require hand washing.
These cycles have been specifically
designed to provide extremely gentle
treatment of fabrics.
Silk or other items marked with the
Hand Wash" symbol Ì on the care
label can be safely washed with this
cycle.
Comforter
Specially designed program for
large/bulky items. Extra water is used
to ensure complete wetting and gentler
spins to reduce stretching.
Jeans
Specially designed for jeans and heavy
denims, this program reduces fading
and wrinkling.
XXTRA SANITARY
This program was specifically designed
to eliminate most common houshold
bacterium while providing gentle
treatment of fabrics. At the beginning
of the washing phase, hot water is
introduced and then the internal
heating element heats the water to
167ºF-174ºF for a minimum of three
minutes. Clothes will be saturated in
the hot water long enough to kill most
common household bacterium, yet
without causing additional wear and
tear to the clothes.
Used for heavily soiled and/or stained
colorfast fabrics that need to be
sanitized, such as, towels, underware,
socks, bed sheets, table clothes, etc.
KIDSCARE
Regular/Cotton settings are intended to
be used for heavily soiled and/or
stained colorfast fabrics. Sturdy,
hard-wearing items made of cotton or
linen such as towels, sheets or white
sports socks.
i Do not wash new multicolored
laundry with other laundry
together.
AQUAGARD
AQUAGARD is designed to work in
conjunction with specially designed
chemicals to rejuventate the
water-resistant qualities of sports- and
outer-wear. The textiles are first
cleaned with special detergents and
then treated with water-proofing
agents which are available at most
department and sporting-goods
stores.
Additional options which can be
selected include Rinse plus",
Reduced ironing", and Power Wash"
Maximum load is 3 lbs.
i Use special detergent! Pour into
detergent (left) compartment.
i Water-proofing agents must be
added via the softener (middle)
compartment.
i Do not use fabric softener when
washing water-resistant clothing!
Textiles treated with fabric softener
may lose their water-resistant
properties.
Following application, some
water-proofing agents require the
textiles to be heat-treated in the
tumble dryer or by ironing the textiles
after they have been dried in air. The
manufacturer's instructions should be
followed carefully to ensure proper
treatment.
Some residual water-proofing agent
may be seen in the washing machine
as a fine film. This film will be removed
in the next full wash cycle
(Regular/Cotton with detergent) and will
not harm the items of clothing washed
in subsequent programs. Alternatively,
start a seperate wash cycle. Wipe any
film off the washing machine door with
a damp cloth and household cleaner.
Wool
Woolens (machine wash and hand
wash).
Refresh
Program for rinsing unsoiled textiles,
e.g. swimwear, and for removing
detergent residue from textiles. Ends
with a spin cycle.
