  *** : Eco 40-60 programme is a test programme
  according to 40 ° C temperature
  selection, EU regulation EU / 2019/2014
  and EN 60456: 2016 / A11: 2020 standard.
  – : See the programme description for maximum load.

Please read 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 the changes in water pressure, water hardness and temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry, selec-tion of auxiliary functions and spin speed, and changes in electric voltage.
Selection patterns for auxiliary functions can be changed by the manufacturer company. New selec-tion patterns can be added or re-moved.
The spin speed of your machine may vary according to the pro-gramme; this spin speed cannot ex-ceed 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 se-lected during the spinning phase, the laundry contains less moisture but higher noise occurs at the end of the programme.

You can see the washing duration on the display of your machine while selecting a programme. De-pending 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 dura-tion of the wash cycle. Duration will be automatically updated soon after the washing starts.
Always select the lowest appropri-ate temperature. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that wash at low temperatures for a long time.

6.4 Programme Selection

1. Determine the programme suitable for the type, quantity and soiling level of the laundry in accordance with “Programme and consumption table”.

Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric.
When selecting a programme, always consider the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature

2. Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection knob

6.5 Programmes

• SaveInAll
It ensures more effective use of your deter-gent with high mechanical movement dur-ing washing. Thus, it preserves your wash-ing quality without the need to apply to heat your laundry for a long time and reduces your energy consumption.
This technology is used in programs that contain symbols or colours displayed on the panel.

• Eco 40-60
In the Eco 40-60 programme, you may wash normally soiled cotton laundry that are specified to be washed together at 40°C or 60°C. This programme is the stand-ard test programme according to the EU environmentally friendly design and energy labelling regulations.

Although this programme washes longer than other washing programmes, it is more efficient in terms of energy and water con-sumption. Actual water temperature may be different from the stated wash temper-ature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this way, energy and water con- sumption would be much less.

• Bumbac
You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, under-wear etc.) in this programme. When the quick wash function button is pressed, pro-gramme duration becomes notably shorter but effective washing performance is en-sured with intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is not selected, ef-fective washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.

• Sintetice
