Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-

rily 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.

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-

washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

Open up the detergent

dispenser and pour in the

detergent and fabric softe-

ner, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately

prior to the wash cycle start.

! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form

too much foam.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exce-

eding the “max” level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine

during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme,

some water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for

the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to

dilute the more concentrated softeners. Should more than

a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this

means the emptying device is blocked. The fabric softener

should not overflow from the grid.

compartment 4: do not pour detergent into this com-

partment.

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 values listed in the “Table of wash

cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when

dry.

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

Special wash cycles

Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 7) ideal for heavily soiled

cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at

cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°,

are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at

varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

8, 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 9 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 9.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use

a liquid detergent. Use programme 10.

Express: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly

soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and the-

refore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash

cycle (

at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics

together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum

load of 1,5 kg.

Sport Intensive (

wash cycle

12): is for washing heavily

soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.);

for best results, we recommend not exceeding the ma-

ximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”.

Sport Light (

wash cycle

13): is for washing lightly soiled

sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best

results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum

load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recom-

mend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a

half-load.

Special Shoes (

wash cycle

14): is for washing sports

shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs

simultaneously.

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.
