Special programme
Daily (programme 11 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts
30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (11 at 30°C), you can wash
different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.
