1. THE NEW WASHING SYSTEM
This new washing machine is the utc me f years f research.
The leading-edge design and the quality f the pr ducti n pr cesses used t
manufacture this pr duct ensure it will give y u many years f excellent service.
Its c ncept satisfies all current and future washing requirements.
Its low wate , powe and dete gent consumption help p otect the envi onment
and educe unning costs to a minimum.
Wate and powe consumption has been educed in all p og ammes.
These results were achieved by means f a special washing system valid f r all
pr grammes and all fabrics.
The drum is fitted with three external vanes that keep the water c nstantly circulating,
thereby ffering intensive and unif rm washing whilst c nsuming less water.
This ensures y ur laundry is washed and treated with utm st care.
The new washing system is so effective that no mally di ty laund y can even be
cleaned without a p e-wash cycle.
Washing times have als been reduced.
Pre-washing is nly rec mmended f r very dirty laundry.

-Rinse with additive
-Drain and spin
-Fabric s ftener
These partial pr grammes are inside the C tt n, Synthetics and W l sect rs, except f r the drain and spin
pr gramme (Drain
) .
• If the indicated temperature sh ws 0°, this means that the pr gramme perf rms a c ld wash cycle. The same
c ld wash is als perf rmed by the Hand wash pr gramme in the W l sect r.
