pellent fabrics. This programme can also be used as a wa-
ter repellency restoring cycle, specifically tailored for treating
clothes with a hydrophobic coating. To perform the water
repellency restoring cycle, proceed as follows:
• Pour the washing detergent in the compartment .
• Pour a special water repellency restorer for fabric into
the softener compartment of the drawer .
• Reduce the laundry load to 1 kg.

grammes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the
most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected pro-
gramme.
