Select the program

You can select a program by turning the

program selector. The name of the se-

lected program is highlighted and the program

end time appears on the display. Start the

program by pressing the Start/Stop button,

or press the button in the middle of the pro-

gram selector to select Options.

1. Auto

This program automatically adjusts the length

of the main wash and the number of rinses to

the amount and type of laundry loaded in the

machine.

2. Time Choice

This program adjusts itself to the specified

time frame or finish time. When using this

program, it is however important to select a

temperature and time suited to how soiled the

laundry is. The spin speed can be selected

freely.

3. Sani

Program for heavily soiled laundry, with dirt

that needs to be fully dissolved before the

main wash. A pre-wash is used to do this. You

can select the temperature freely, so follow

the washing instructions for each garment.

The highest temperature, 203°F (95°C), is

suitable for very heavily soiled laundry. The

spin speed can be selected freely. The ma-

chine adapts the program time and water

consumption to the load size.

4. Stain

Program for normally to heavily soiled laundry,

whites and colors. You can select the temper-

ature freely, so follow the washing instructions

for each garment. 140°F (60°C) is a good

temperature for heavily soiled cotton gar-

ments, as well as for garments worn next to

the skin. Select 104°F (40°C) if the laundry is

less soiled. The spin speed can be selected

freely. The machine adapts the program time

and water consumption to the load size.

5. White

A standard program for lightly to moderately

soiled laundry. The temperature can be select-

ed freely, so follow the washing instructions

for each garment. Garments worn next to the

skin ought to be washed at 140°F (60°C). The

spin speed can be selected freely. The ma-

chine adapts the program time and water

consumption to the load size.

6. Color

Standard program for lightly soiled laundry.

The temperature can be selected freely, so

follow the washing instructions for each gar-

ment. Garments worn next to the skin ought

to be washed at 140°F (60°C). Very lightly

soiled laundry, however, often comes clean

at 104°F (40°C). The spin speed can be se-

lected freely.

7. Quick

Lightly soiled laundry that just needs freshen-

ing up. You can choose the inlet water temper-

ature (the machine does not warm the water),

104°F (40°C), or 140°F (60°C).

Fast program for laundry that just needs

freshening up. The program can be run at any

temperature, so follow the washing instruc-

tions for each garment. The lower the select-

ed temperature, the shorter the program time.

Garments worn next to the skin ought to be

washed at 140°F (60°C). The spin speed can

be selected freely.

8. PermaPress

Program for synthetics, blended materials,

and permanent press cotton. Suitable for

shirts and blouses. The temperature can be

selected freely, so follow the washing instruc-

tions for each garment. Garments worn next

to the skin ought to be washed at 140°F

(60°C). Many synthetics will come clean at

104°F (40°C) too. The maximum spin speed

is 800 rpm.
