1) If you press the button 6 two times (Super Quick function set), we recommend you to decrease the quantity of the

load. It is possible to keep the full load but the washing results are not good.

2) The wash and spin phase of this programme is soft to prevent the creases of the laundry. The appliance adds

some rinses.

3) Set the spin speed. Make sure that it agrees with the laundry. To select the DRAIN programme only, set the

function NO SPIN.

4) Set this programme to decrease the time and the consumption of energy and water.

5) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values.

According to regulation 1061/2010, the «Baumwolle Eco - Coton Eco 60° C» and «Baumwolle Eco - Coton Eco

40° C» are respectively the «standard 60° C cotton programme» and the «standard 40° C cotton programme».

They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing

normally soiled cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected pro-

gramme.
