Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that

household appliances should not be disposed of using

the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances

should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost

of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,

while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and

to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all

products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding

separated waste collection. For more information relating

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is

increased and optimal residual detergent removal is

guaranteed. It is particularly useful for skin which is

If this function is selected, the pre-wash cycle will run; this is

useful for removing stubborn stains.

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle

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 according 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.

*** If a drying cycle is also programmed, the machine will run a “wash+dry” programme lasting 45’ with maximum spin speed and a 1kg laundry load.
