  ***: Eco 40-60 program is a test program according to 40 ° C temperature selection, EU regulation EU / 2019/2014 and EN 60456: 2016 / A11: 2020 standard.
  – : See the program description for maximum load.
  Please read the Installation section of the manual before first use. The auxiliary functions in the table may vary according to the model of your machine. Water and energy consumption may vary subject to changes in water pressure, water hardness and temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry, selection of auxiliary functions and spin speed, and changes in electric voltage. Selection patterns for auxiliary functions can be changed by the manufacturer company. New selection patterns can be added or removed. The spin speed of your machine may vary according to the program; this spin speed cannot exceed the max. spin speed of your machine. The amount of noise and humidity varies according to the spin speed; when the higher spin speed is selected during the spinning phase, the laundry contains less moisture but higher noise occurs at the end of the program.
  You can see the washing duration on the display of your machine while selecting a program. Depending on the amount of laundry you have loaded into your machine, there may be a difference of 1-1.5 hours between the duration shown on the display and the actual duration of the wash cycle. Duration will be automatically updated soon after the washing starts. Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. The most efficient programs in terms of energy consumption are generally those that wash at low temperatures for a long time.

6.4 Programme Selection
a. Determine the program suitable for the type, quantity and soiling level of the laundry in accordance with the “Programme and consumption table”.
Programs are limited to the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric.
When selecting a program, always consider the type of fabric, color, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature.
b. Select the desired program with the Programme Selection knob.

6.5 Programmes
• Eco 40-60
In the Eco 40-60 program, you may wash normally soiled cotton laundry that are specified to be washed together at 40°C or 60°C. This program is the stand- ard test program according to the EU environmentally friendly design and energy labeling regulations.
Although this program washes longer than other washing programs, it is more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption. Actual water temperature maybe different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in program stages may automatically get
shorter. In this way, energy and water consumption would be much less.
• Cotton
You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this program. When the quick wash function button is pressed, program duration becomes notably shorter but effective washing performance is ensured with intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is not selected, effective washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Synthetics
You can wash your laundry (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended fabrics etc.) in this program. When the quick wash function button is pressed, the program duration will be shortened significantly and effective washing performance is provided for your laundry that is not very dirty. If the quick wash function is not selected, effective washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• WoolProtect / HandWash
Use to wash your woolen/delicate laundry. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tag of your clothes. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.
• HygieneCare+
Applying a steam step at the beginning of the program allows softening the dirt easily. Use this program for your laundry (baby clothes, bed sheets, bedlinen, underwear, etc. cotton items) that requires an anti-allergic and hygienic washing at high temperature with an intensive and long washing cycle. The high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the steam application before the program, long heating duration and additional rinsing step.

• The program was tested by „The British Allergy Foundation„ (Allergy UK) with the 60°C temperature option selected and it was certified in terms of its efficacy in eliminating allergens in addition to bacteria and mold.

Allergy UK is the brand of the British Allergy Association. Seal of Approval is created to guide people that require recommendation about a product that the related product restricts/reduces/eliminates the allergens or reduces the allergen content significantly in the ambient where allergy patients exist. It aims to provide assurance that the products are tested scientifically or examined in a way to provide measurable results.

• Down Wear
Use this programme to wash your coats, vest, jackets etc. containing feathers with a “machine-washable” label on them. Thanks to special spinning profiles, it is ensured that the water reaches the air gaps amongst the feathers.
• Spin+Pump
You can use this program to remove the water on the garment/inside the machine.
• Rinsing
Use when you want to rinse or starch separately.
• Shirts
This program is used to wash the shirts made from cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics altogether. It reduces wrinkles. Steam is applied at the end of the program to help the wrinkle-reducing function. The special spin profile and steam applied at the end of the program reduce the wrinkles on your shirts. When the quick wash function is selected, the Pre-treatment algorithm is executed.

• Apply the pre-treatment chemical on your garments directly or add it together with the detergent in the powder detergent compartment. Thus, you can obtain the same performance as you obtain with normal washing in a much shorter period of time. Usage life of your shirts increases. Do not use pre-wash detergent if you are planning to use delay function of your machine. Prewash detergent may pour out on your clothes and cause stains.
  ** It is recommended to operate the cycle with no more than 6 shirts to minimize wrinkles in your shirts using this cycle. When washing more than 6 shirts, there may be differences on the wrinkle levels and humidity on shirts at the end of cycle.

• Mini / Mini 14‘
  Use this program to wash your lightly soiled or unspotted cotton clothes in a short time but not for towels or heavy cotton. The program duration can be reduced to 14 minutes when the quick wash function is selected. When the quick wash function is selected, a maximum 2 (two) kg of laundry must be washed.

• Machine Care
  Regularly clean (once every 1 to 2 months) the drum for ensuring the required hygiene. Turn on the programme when the machine is completely empty. For better results, use powder anti-limescale (drum cleaning materials) suitable for washing machines when the powder detergent function is selected. Leave the loading door half
  closed after the programme ends for the inside of the machine to dry.

This is not a washing program. This is a maintenance program. Do not turn this programme on when there is something inside the machine. When you attempt to operate, the machine automatically senses that there is load inside, and may quit or resume the programme as per the model of your machine. Effective cleaning is not achieved if the programme is resumed.

• Mix
  Use to wash your cotton and synthetic clothes together without sorting them.

• Delicates
  You can wash your delicate clothes such as cotton/synthetic blended knitwear or hosiery in this program. It washes with a more delicate washing action. Wash your clothes whose color you want to preserve either at 20 degrees or by selecting the cold wash option.

• Outdoor / Sport You can use this program to wash sports and outdoor garments that contain cotton/synthetics mix and water repellent cover such as gore-tex etc. It makes sure your garments are washed gently thanks to special rotating movements.

• Stain Care The machine has a special stain program that enables the removal of different types of stains in the most effective way. Use this program only for durable colorfast cotton laundry. Do not wash delicate and pigmenting clothes and laundry in this program. Before washing, garment tags should be checked (recommended for cotton shirts, trousers, shorts, t-shirts, baby clothes, pajamas, aprons, table clothes, bed sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, bath beach towels, towels, socks, cotton under- wear that are suitable for washing at high temperature and long time). In the automatic stain program, you can wash 24 types of stains divided into three different groups according to quick function selection. Depending on the selected stain group, a special washing program for which duration of rinse hold, washing action, washing and rinsing duration are modified. Below you can find the soil groups that can be selected with the “Quick/Intensive” setting button: When “Intense” is selected; Sweat, collar dirt, food, mayonnaise, salad dressing, make-up, machine oil, baby food. When “Quick/Intense” is not selected; Blood, chocolate, pudding, grass, mud, eggs, butter, curry.
