Spin/Drain5) 9 kg

1400 rpm

To spin the laundry and to drain the

water in the drum. All fabrics, ex‐

cept woollens and delicate fab‐

rics.

1) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu‐

lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton pro‐

gramme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient pro‐

grammes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled

cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature

declared for the selected programme.

2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the

drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

3) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry

could be humid. It is better to expose the items to the fresh air for about 10 minutes to let

the humidity dry. When the programme is completed, quickly remove the laundry from the

drum. After a steam cycle, items may be ironed however with less effort.

4) Steam does not remove animal odours.

5) Set the spin speed. Make sure it is suitable for the type of fabric being washed. If you set

the No Spin option then only the drain phase is available.
