Eco Wash cycles
The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water and its an advantage both to your
energy bill and the environment!
These innovative Eco programmes (Cotton, Synthetics and Fast Wash) are available for various fabrics and
different quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperatu-
re and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads.
Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the
same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results with Eco programmes we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
Eco Cycles have been tested and validated by an external laboratory (CTTN-IREN) in terms of performance and
consumptions.
