Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful 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 in-

side 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 the detergent dispenser

drawer and pour in the detergent

or washing additive, as follows.

Compartment 1: Pre-wash

detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent,

make sure that extra compart-

ment 4 has been removed.

Compartment 2: Washing

detergent (powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is

recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied)

be used for proper dosage. If powder detergent is used, place

the partition into slot B.

Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated

on the central pin.

Extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into compartment

1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the “max” level indicated

on the central pin.

Perform bleaching by pouring the bleach into additional com-

partment 4 and set the programme .

! Traditional bleach should be used on resistant white fabrics, and

delicate bleach for coloured and synthetics fabrics and for wool.

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 900-1.200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care

Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled

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

recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the

“Programme table”. We recommend using liquid detergent,

and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.

Dark: use cycle 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This

programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time.

We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results

when washing dark-coloured garments.

Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with

bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme

is designed to remove bad odours while preserving the fabric

fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed loads should be washed

at 40°, and resistant cotton fabrics at 60°.

Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments.

It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing

them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate

garments. For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the

relevant cycle 4 and activate the option ; the machine

will end the cycle with the laundry soaked and the indicator

light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry can be

removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the option .

Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been

approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of

wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the

products are washed according to the instructions on the

garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this

washing machine. (M1126)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark

is a Certification trade mark.

Duvet: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should not

exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down

such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 6.

We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their

edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾

of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best

results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and

placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.

Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured clothes.

The programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time.

Cotton Standard 20°C (programme 12) ideal for lightly

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.

Eco Synthetic (programme 13) ideal for mixed loads (cotton

and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The effective performance

levels achieved at cold temperatures are guaranteed by a

mechanical action which operates at varying speed, across set

average intervals.

Rapid (programme 14) allows for varying the garment treatment

duration from 9’ to 60’. Pressing the corresponding “Rapid”

button allows for varying the cycle duration between 9’ (refresh),

30’ (wash), 60’ (wash). The 9’ cycle refreshes garments using

fabric softener only; it is advisable not to add any detergent

into the machine. The 30’ cycle is designed to wash lightly soiled

garments at 30° (excluding wool and silk) with a 3 kg maximum

load in a short time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows for saving

time and energy. The 60’ cycle is designed to wash moderately

soiled resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good

washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we

recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.
