NOTE: THE DURATION OF THE PROGRAM MAY CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF LAUNDRY, WATER TYPE, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND SELECTED  ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS.
() The program water temperature is at the factory default setting.
() If your washing machine has a quick wash function, you can enable the quick wash option on the panel and fill the machine with 2 kg or less of laundry and have it done in 30 minutes.
(
) Due to the short washing time of this programme, we recommend using less detergent. If the washing machine detects an uneven load, the program may last longer than 15 minutes. You  can open the washing machine door 2 minutes after the end of the wash cycle. (This two-minute period is not included in the duration of the program). According to Regulations 1015/2010 and 1061/2010, programme 1 is the ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’ and programme 2 is the ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’.

  • The Eco 40-60 program can jointly clean normally soiled cottons with a recommended wash temperature of 40 ° C or 60 ° C in the same cycle and is used to assess compliance with EU  ecodesign legislation.
  • The most energy efficient programs are usually programs that wash for longer at lower temperatures.
  • Filling the household washing machine to the capacity specified by the manufacturer for the relevant programs will contribute to energy and water savings.
  • Program duration, energy consumption and water consumption values may vary depending on the weight and type of load, selected additional functions, type of water and ambient  temperature.
  • It is recommended to use liquid detergent for washing programs that wash at low temperatures. The amount of detergent depends on the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.  Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the amount used.
  • The spin speed affects the noise and the residual moisture content. The higher the spin speed in the spin phase, the higher the noise and the lower the residual moisture content.
  • You can access the product database, where model information is stored by reading the QR code on the energy label.
  • Please refer to the last pages of this manual for a table of water and energy requirements for each programme.

Important information

  • Use only detergents, fabric softeners and accessories suitable for automatic washing machines. Excessive foam formed and the automatic foam absorption system was activated due to the  use of too much detergent.
  • We recommend regular cleaning of the washing machine every 2 months. Use the Drum Clean program for regular cleaning. If your washing machine does not have the Drum Clean  program, use the Cotton 90 program. If necessary, use only suitable descaling agents developed specifically for washing machines.
  • Never open the door while the washing machine is in operation. You can open the washing machine door 2 minutes after the end of the wash cycle.
  • Installation and repair work must always be performed by an authorized service representative to avoid possible risks. The manufacturer is not liable for damage that may occur during  processes performed by unauthorized persons.

Removal of the detergent drawer:

  • Pull the drawer forward so that it is fully out.
  • Carefully push on the drawer (see figure below) and pull it out.
  • Clean the drawer with water and a soft brush.
  • If there is any dirt left in the drawer, remove it with a soft brush. Make sure that no residual dirt gets into the washing machine.
