DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Choice of the right detergents and
additives
The type of detergent depends on:
•
type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
Note:
use only specific detergents for wool and
garments made of microfibres (like sports or
swimwear).
•
colour;
•
washing temperature;
•
degree and type of soiling.
Notes:
•
Do not use liquid detergents when activating the
“Start Delay” function (if available on your
machine).
•
Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when activating the “Prewash” option or
selecting a programme with “Prewash” (if
available on your model).
•
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by
insoluble detergents components used in
modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If
you notice this problem, shake or brush the
affected items or use liquid detergents.
•
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place
out of the reach of children.
•
Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
•
If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,
make sure that they are suitable for washing
machine use.
•
Descaler could contain components that can
damage parts of your washing machine.
•
Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).
•
Do not machine wash fabrics that have been
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
Dosage
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in
relation to:
•
the degree and type of soiling;
•
the size of the load;
-
full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions;
-
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
-
minimum load (about 1 kg): half the amount
used for a full load;
•
water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company): soft water requires
less detergent than hard water.
Notes:
•
Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, and the reduction of washing efficiency.If
the washing machine detects excessive foam it
may prevent spinning.
•
Insufficient detergent may result in:
grey laundry, deposits on the drum, tub and
heater.
•
When using concentrated fabric softeners, add
water in the detergents dispenser up to “MAX”
level mark.
•
To prevent dispensing problems when using
highly concentrated powder and liquid
detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag
supplied with the detergent and place it inside
the drum.

Using chlorine bleach
•
Wash your laundry in the desired programme
(Cotton, Synthetics), adding an appropriate
amount of chlorine bleach to the SOFTENER
chamber (close the lid carefully).
•
Immediately after end of programme, start the
“Rinse and Spin” programme to eliminate any
residual bleach smell; if you want, you can add
softener.
•
Never put both chlorine bleach and softener into
the softener chamber at the same time.
Using starch powder
If you want to use starch powder, proceed as follows:
•
Wash your laundry in the desired wash programme.
•
Prepare the starch solution according to the
starch manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Fill the prepared starch solution (maximum
100 ml) into the softener chamber of the
detergent dispenser.
•
Close the lid and start programme “Rinse and Spin”.
Where to put detergents and additives
Pour in the detergent:
•
Washing powder for prewash and main wash
•
Washing powder for main wash without prewash
•
Fabric softeners no more than to “
MAX
” mark.
•
Stain removers
•
Water softeners (water hardness class 4)
•
Starch (dissolved in water; maximum 100 ml)
Be careful not to fill more than the “
MAX
” level mark.
For programmes without prewash and temperatures from cold to
40° C, it is recommended to use liquid detergents to avoid whitish
residues on the laundry.

Water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and
replace it if necessary using a new hose of the same type.
The inlet hose as shown on picture “
A
” has a safety valve to
prevent the appliance against uncontrolled water inlet; if the
safety valve inspection window is red, the safety valve has been
activated and the hose must be exchanged. Contact out After-
Sales Service or your specialist dealer to obtain a new inlet hose.
If your inlet hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. “
B
”),
periodically check the colour of the transparent coating. If the
transparent hose coating turns into an intense red, this is an
indication that the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.
Contact our After-Sales Service team or specialist dealer to
obtain a replacement hose.
