How to use the various modes of the washing machine

• Normal: Default cycle. Recommended for cotton garments, bedding, tablecloths, underwear, towels or shirts. The washing time and the number of rinses are automatically adjusted according to the load.

• FUZZY: Automatically detects the most suitable washing program. The water level is automatically adjusted, and the washing, rinsing and spinning stages are adapted to the selected cycle.

• Quick wash: For lightly soiled garments that are urgently needed. For best performance, a maximum load of 2 kg is recommended.

• Heavy: Provides a more intense and deeper wash.

• Heavy load: Designed for resistant fabrics, solid colors and garments with a high level of dirt.

• Powerful washing: For durable fabrics that do not fade and very dirty clothes.

• Delicate: Ideal for fine garments such as underwear, lingerie, silk and other fabrics that are normally washed by hand. For best results, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

• Bedding: Recommended for bulky items such as duvets, blankets and sheets.

• Water saving: Turn this option on if you want to reduce water consumption. The water used during rinsing is reused in the next cycle.

• Jeans: Recommended for garments that need a deeper wash, such as jeans.

• Rinse + Spin: This cycle is useful for loads that only require rinsing, or for adding fabric softener. It can also be used after another cycle if you want to do an additional rinse and spin.

• Eco drum washing or Drum cleaning: This option allows you to clean the washing machine drum. The high spin speed helps to remove residues and impurities, as well as reduce bad odors inside the drum.

• White linen: Designed for white garments. It can be used with or without bleach, depending on your needs.

• Sportswear: Recommended for workout wear, such as sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts, and similar garments. This cycle effectively removes dirt through a controlled movement of the drum, ideal for fabrics that require special care.

• AI washing: Automatically adjusts the cycle based on the type of laundry detected, optimizing the wash for each load.

• Steam disinfection: For resistant fabrics that do not fade and very dirty garments. This cycle heats the water to over 60°C to kill bacteria and ensure deep cleaning.

• Baby clothes: Use high heat and extra rinses to help effectively remove detergent residue, taking care of baby's sensitive skin.

• Permanent ironing: Ideal for synthetic fabrics that do not require ironing and for lightly or moderately soiled garments.

• Starring: Designed for heavily soiled, solid-colored garments. This cycle heats the water to 65°C to kill bacteria.

• Disinfection: Recommended for fabrics that do not fade and very dirty clothes. The water is heated to over 60°C to kill bacteria and ensure deep cleaning.

• Super Spped: For garments with little dirt and loads of up to 5 kg. Offers faster and more efficient washing.

• Towels: Special for bath towels, hand towels and mats. Provides a deep clean suitable for absorbent textiles.

• My Cycle: Allows you to select additional cycles through the SmartThings app from your smartphone.

• Cycles: The cycles of your washing machine are programs designed to wash different types of clothes. Each one performs the soaking, rinsing, and spinning stages. For example, the "Bedding" cycle is intended for washing blankets or duvets, while the "Delicate" cycle is ideal for garments that require gentle care, such as underwear.

• Settings: Settings define how each wash cycle runs, including water temperature, spin speed, and number of rinses. For example, one cycle may use hot water and a high spin speed, while another may run on cold water and medium speed. Although each cycle comes with preset settings, in most cases they can be modified, although there may be some limitations depending on the model or type of clothing.

• Features: Unlike settings, features are additional options that you can turn on as needed. They are not required to run a cycle. For example, the "Delayed Finish" feature allows you to program the washing machine to finish the wash at a specific time later. This feature is completely optional, unlike essential settings such as temperature, rinse or spin.
