TABLE OF PROGRAMMES PROGRAMME SELECTOR ON: PROGRAM FOR: WEIGHT MAX kg TEMP.
Programme selector For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and lenght of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes). COTTONS The Cotton programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
DRYING Note: Dispensers used for concentrated powders and liquid detergents must be removed from the drum before commencing the tumble drying programmes. The drum changes direction during the drying cycle to prevent the laundry from tangling and hence produce even drying. Cool air is used during the last ten minutes of the drying cycle to minimise creasing. LOW HEAT Low temperature drying programme for synthetics and mixed fibres, always refer to the care label.
Dosages Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents - - Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
