Aquatech Technology
This technology replaces some of the intensive drum movements during the washing process with the power
of water. It provides faster washing that is also gentler to your laundry, without compromising the washing
performance.
A mix of water and detergent is sprayed from the top of the drum when the drum is stationary. The point in
the cycle when this happens is optimised for each programme and will occur at different times on different
programmes. Generally, the special spraying system is activated at a point between 25 to 60 minutes into the
wash cycle, depending on the load and temperature selection. In certain programmes, the special spraying
system will be activated at the beginning of the cycle (3 to 10 min into the wash).
• Eco 40-60
The Eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C
or 60 °C, together in the same cycle, and that this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU
ecodesign legislation.
Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water
temperature may be different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry
(e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and
water consumption will decrease.
• Cottons
You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this
programme. When the quick wash function button is pressed, programme duration becomes notably shorter
but effective washing performance is ensured with intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is
not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
•
Synthetics
You can wash your laundry (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended fabrics etc.) in this programme.
The programme duration gets notable shorter and washing with high performance is ensured. If the quick wash
function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
•
Hand Wash
Use to wash your woollen/delicate laundry. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tag of your
clothes. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.
• Anti Allergy
Applying a steam step at the beginning of the programme allows to soften the dirt easily.
Use this programme for your laundry (baby clothes, bed sheets, bedlinen, underwear, etc. cotton items) that
requires an anti-allergic and hygienic washing at high temperature with intensive and long washing cycle. The
high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the steam application before the programme, long heating duration
and additional rinsing step.

the duvet correctly in order not to damage the machine and the duvet. Remove the duvet cover before loading
the duvet into the machine. Fold the duvet into two and load it into the machine. Load the duvet into the
machine paying attention to place it in a way that it will not contact the bellow or the glass.
