SELECTION
For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bandsaccording to: wash cycle, temperature and lenght of cycle(see table of washing cycle programmes). 
RESISTANTS FABRICS 
The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.The final spin gives more efficient removal of water. 
MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS  
The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become lesscreased. 
SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES  
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicatefabrics.The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high waterlevels to ensure best results. 
WOOLMARK PROGRAMME 
The special cycle, enables to thoroughly wash garments without damaging them.The cycle comprises of alternate periods of activity andpauses with a maximum temperature of 40°C and concludeswith 3 rinses and a short spin.

WASHING
VARIABLE CAPACITY
This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing. In this way it is alsopossible to obtain a “personalized” wash from an energy savingpoint of view.This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and asensible reduction in washing times.
EXAMPLE: 
A net bag should be used for particularly delicate fabrics.
Let us suppose that the washing consists of HEAVILY SOILED COTTON (tough stains should be removed with suitablestain removal). 
It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water andbecome too heavy. 
●  Open the detergent drawer (P). 
●  Put 120 g  in the main wash compartment marked 2.

DRYING
DON’T DRY GARMENTS MADE FROM FOAM RUBBER OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. 
IMPORTANT:  THIS DRYER CAN ONLY BE USED  FOR LAUNDRYWHICH HAS BEEN WASHED AND SPIN DRIED.
WARNING: Indications given are general, therefore some practice isneeded for the best drying results. We recommend setting alower drying time than indicated, when first using, so as toestablish the degree of dryness required. We recommend notto dry fabrics that fray easily, such as rugs or garments with adeep pile, to avoid air duct clogging.The water is then conveyed to the drain circuit, wich is sealedand therefore, no steam can be released outside.
IMPORTANT NEVER OPEN THE DOOR AFTER THE DRYING CYCLEHAS BEGUN - WAIT UNTIL THE COOL DOWN PERIODPROVIDED FOR BY THE CYCLE.
Only dry pre-spun laundry 
The washer/dryer can perform two types of drying:
1 Cotton, terry towelling, linen, hemp fabrics, etc...
