• Do not wash laundry without hems or

with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash

small and/or delicate items (e.g.

underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase leading

to excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a.

interrupt the programme and

open the door (refer to

"Opening the door when a

programme or the delay start

operates");

b.

manually redistribute the load so

that the items are spaced evenly

around the tub;

c.

press the Start/Pause button. The

spin phase continues.

11.2 

Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is

not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these

stains before you put the items in the

appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use

the special stain remover that is

applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

11.3 

Detergents and other

treatments

• Only use detergents and other

treatments specially made for

washing machines:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate

fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for

low temperature wash

programmes (60 °C max) for all

types of fabric, or special ones for

woollens only.

• Do not mix different types of

detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the recommended quantity

of detergent.

• Follow the instructions that you find

on packaging of the detergents or

other treatments without exceeding
the indicated maximum level (

).

• Use the recommended detergents for

the type and colour of the fabric, the

programme temperature and the

level of soil.

11.4 

Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the

prewash phase to wash laundry with

normal soil.

• Always start a washing programme

with the maximum load of laundry

allowed.

• If you pre-treat the stains, you can use

a stain remover when you set a

programme with a low temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of

detergent, check the water hardness

of your domestic system. Refer to

"Water hardness".

11.5 

Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you

additive for water softening. In areas

where the water hardness is soft it is not

necessary to use him.
To find out the water hardness in your

area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of additive for

water softening. Follow the instructions

that you find on the packaging of the

product.
