ℹ️ Note: Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric. When selecting a programme, always consider the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature.

  1. Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection knob.

6.5 Programmes

  • EnergySpin This feature works in all programs indicated by the symbol on the product dashboard. It ensures more effective use of your detergent with high mechanical movement during washing. Thus, it preserves your washing quality without the need to apply to heat your laundry for a long time and reduces your energy consumption.
  • Eco 40-60 In the ECO 40-60 program, you can wash normally dirty cotton laundry, which is indicated to be washed together at 40C or 60C. This programme is the standard test programme according to EU environmentally responsible design and energy labelling legislation. Although this program takes longer to wash than other washing programs, it is more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption. The actual water temperature may differ from the specified wash temperature. When doing laundry in smaller quantities (for example, of capacity or less), the duration of the program stages may be automatically shortened. In this case, energy and water consumption are further reduced.
  • Cottons Your durable cotton clothes (sheets, linen, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.) you can wash it in this program. When the quick wash function button is pressed, the program time is significantly shorter, but effective wash performance is ensured by intensive wash movements. If the quick wash function is not selected, effective wash and rinse performance is provided for your very dirty laundry.
  • Synthetics T-shirt, blouse, synthetic/cotton mixed fabrics, etc. you can wash your clothes in this program. Pressing the quick wash function button significantly shortens the program time and provides effective washing performance for your non-dirty laundry. If the quick wash function is not selected, effective wash and rinse performance is provided for your very dirty laundry.
  • Delicates / Wool/Handwash Use this program to wash your wool/delicate clothes. Choose the appropriate temperature for the label of your laundry. Your clothes are washed with very delicate movements so that they do not get damaged.
  • Hygiene+ Applying a steam step at the beginning of the program makes it easy for dirt to soften. This program includes intensive and long washing time and high-temperature anti-allergy and hygienic laundry (baby clothes, linens, linens, underwear, etc.) use it for the wearer. A high level of hygiene is ensured by steam application before the program, long-term heating and additional rinsing steps.

The programme has been tested by the British Allergy Foundation (Allergy UK) at a temperature of 60C and approved for hygiene and allergen removal effectiveness.

Diagram: Allergy UK Seal of Approval logo.

Allergy UK is a brand of the British Allergy Foundation. The Seal of approval was created to guide those seeking advice that the product significantly reduces the amount of allergens in the environment of allergic people or restricts/reduces/ eliminates allergens. Its purpose is to provide evidence that the products have been scientifically tested or examined to produce measurable results.

  • Spin + Drain Use this program to remove water from the garment/inside the machine.
  • Rinse Use when you want to rinse or collage separately.

ℹ️ Note: This is not a washing program. In this program, you can use detergent, bleach, stain remover, etc. do not add chemicals.

  • Shirts Use this program to wash your cotton, synthetic and synthetic shirts. This program allows the laundry to wrinkle less. Steam is applied at the end of the program to aid the crease reduction function. The steam and special tightening profile applied at the end of the program reduce wrinkles on your shirts. When the quick wash function is selected, the Pre-treatment algorithm is used. Apply the pre-treatment chemical directly on the laundry or add the detergent to the machine from the powder detergent compartment with the detergent. In this way, you can achieve the performance you get in a normal wash in a much shorter time. Your shirts will last longer. If you are going to use the time delay function on your machine, do not use the pre-wash chemical. The pre-wash chemical can flow over your laundry, causing stains to form on your laundry.

    ** It is recommended that you do not wash your shirts with more than 6 shirts to minimize the wrinkle level with this program. at the end of washing when washing at capacities higher than 6 units; differences in the level of wrinkle and the amount of moisture above the shirts can be seen.

  • Xpress / Super X Use this program to wash your cotton clothes with very little dirt and spotless in a short time. With the quick wash function selected, the program time can be reduced to up to 14 minutes. If the quick wash function is selected, a maximum of 2 (two) kg of laundry must be washed.
  • Dark Care/Jeans Use this program to preserve the color of your dark clothes and jeans. This program provides high washing performance thanks to special drum movement, even at low temperature. It is recommended to use liquid detergent or wool shampoo for dark colors. Wool, etc. do not wash your delicate clothes in this program.
  • Drum Clean Use regularly (every 1-2 months) to clean the boiler and ensure proper hygiene. Run the program when the machine is completely empty. For better results, use a powder descaler (boiler cleaning agent) suitable for washing machines with the powder detergent function selected.
