You can see the programme duration on the
display of your machine while selecting a
programme. Depending on the amount of laundry
you have loaded into your machine, foaming,
unbalanced load conditions, fluctuations in power
supply, water pressure and program settings, the
programme duration is automatically adjusted
while the programme is running.
SPECIAL CASE: At programme start of Cottons
and Cotton Eco programmes, display shows the
duration of half load, which is the most common
use case. After programme starts, in 20-25
minutes actual load is detected by the machine.
And if the detected load is higher than half load;
washing program will be adjusted accordingly and
program duration increased automatically. You
may follow this change on the display.

C
INFORMATION
• Water and power consumption may vary subject to the changes in water pressure, water
hardness and water temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry,
selection of auxiliary functions and spin speed, and changes in the mains voltage.
• When selecting a programme, you can see the washing duration on the display
of your machine. Depending on the amount of laundry you have loaded into the
machine, there might be a difference of 1 to 1.5 hours between the duration shown
on the display and the actual duration of the washing programme. The duration will
be corrected automatically right after the washing programme has started.
• The auxiliary functions in the table may vary according to the model of your machine.
• Auxiliary function selection modes can be changed by the manufacturing company.
Existing selection modes can be removed or new selection modes can be added.
• Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. The most efficient programmes in terms of
energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
• Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning
speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

following main programmes.
• Cottons
You can wash your durable cotton laundry
(sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear
etc.) in this programme. When you press the
quick wash function key, programme duration
becomes notably shorter but effective washing is
ensured thanks to intense washing movements.
If the quick wash function is not selected,
superior washing and rinsing performance is
ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Synthetics
You can use this programme to wash t-shirts,
synthetic/cotton mix fabrics etc. Programme
duration is notably shorter and efficient
washing performance is ensured. If the
quick wash function is not selected, superior
washing and rinsing performance is ensured
for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Hand Wash
Use this programme to wash your woollen/
delicate clothes. Select the appropriate
temperature complying with the tag of your
clothes. Your laundry will be washed with very
delicate movements to avoid any damage.
4.3.6 Additional programmes
For special cases, additional programmes are
available in the machine.
C
INFORMATION
• Additional programmes may differ
according to the model of the machine.
•
Eco 40-60
The eco 40-60 programme is able to clean
normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be
washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same
cycle, and that this programme is used to assess
the compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.
Although it washes longer than all other
programmes, it provides high energy and water
savings. Actual water temperature may be
different from the stated wash temperature. When
you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½
capacity or less), periods in programme stages
may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy
and water consumption will decrease.
• Classic
Use to wash your normally soiled, durable
cotton and linen laundry. Although it washes
longer than all other programmes, it provides
high energy and water savings. Actual water
temperature may be different from the stated
wash temperature. When you load the
machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity
or less), periods in programme stages may
automatically get shorter. In this case, energy
and water consumption will decrease more,
providing a more economic wash.
• Hygiene
This is a long programme you can use for
laundry that requires hygienic and intense
washing at a high temperature for a long time.
A high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the
long heating and additional rinsing step.
•
Delicates
You can use this programme to wash delicate
laundry such as cotton/synthetic mix knitted
clothes or socks. Washing movements in this
programme are more delicate. Set the temperature
to 20 degrees or use the Cold Wash option for
clothes whose colour you wish to preserve.
• Fast Full Load / Mini 14’
Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled
cotton clothes in a short time. The programme
duration can be reduced down to 14 minutes
when the quick wash function is selected. When
the quick wash function is selected, maximum 2
(two) kg of laundry must be washed.
• Dark Wash
Use this programme to preserve the colour
of your dark-coloured clothes and jeans. This
programme provides high efficiency in washing,
thanks to a special drum movement, even at low
temperatures. It is recommended to use liquid
detergent or woollen shampoo for dark coloured
laundry. Do not wash your delicate clothes that
contain wool etc. in this programme.
•
Mix 40
You can use this programme to wash cottons and
synthetics together without the need to sort them.
17 / EN
Washing Machine / User’s Manual
•
Shirts
Use this programme to wash shirts made of
cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics
together. This programme ensures that your
clothes wrinkle less. When the quick wash function
is selected, the Pre-treatment algorithm is used.
• Apply the pre-treatment chemical directly onto
the clothes, or add it together with the detergent
when the machine starts to take in water from
the main wash compartment. This way, it will
take you much shorter to get the performance
you would normally get with a regular washing
cycle. Life of your shirts will be longer.
• Sportswear
Use this programme to wash outdoor/sports
clothes that contain cotton/synthetic mix, as
well as waterproof cloths like gore-tex. This
programme washes your laundry delicately
thanks to its special turning movements.
• Lingerie
