Heavilysoiledandrobustlaundrymadeofcotton,syntheticsandtheirblends.

Economical energy consumption by prolonged wash duration - ideal to be run overnight

to profit from more favourable energy rates. Avoid noise of spinning at night by

setting the spin speed to “0” and start spin programme in the morning, or by defining

programme start with “Start delay” accordingly. - For garments with a high share of

synthetic fibres, we recommend to use a laundry net.
