Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct

dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not

necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in

fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance

and contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and

pour in the detergent or

washing additive, as

follows.

ompartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra

compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately

prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white

fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics,

synthetics and for wool.

This option is particularly

useful for the removal of

stubborn stains. Place

extra compartment 4

(supplied) into

compartment 1.

When pouring in the

bleach, be careful not to

exceed the "max" level

marked on the central

pivot (see figure).

To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour the bleach into

extra compartment 4, set the "Rinse"

programme

and activate the "Stain removal"

option.

To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent

and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired

wash cycle and enable the "Stain removal"

option.

The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the “Pre-

wash” option.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from

whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the

weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1 kg

Silk: max. 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using

programme 7, even those carrying the "hand-wash

only"

label. For best results, use special

detergents and do not exceed 1 kg of laundry.

Silk: use special wash cycle 8 to wash all silk

garments. We recommend the use of special

detergent which has been designed to wash delicate

clothes.

Curtains:

fold curtains and place them in a pillow

case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 8.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and

use a liquid detergent. Use programme 9.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations

and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the

drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly

greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after

several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,

the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the

load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine

performs the distribution process instead of spinning.

To encourage improved load distribution and balance,

we recommend small and large garments are mixed

in the load.
