Notes
For the anti-crease function: see Easy Iron (next page). The information contained in the table is purely
indicative. All cycle length times are approximate.
Special programmes
Daily 30' (programme 9 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of
time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (9
at 30˚C), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load
of 3kg.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.
