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.
!
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.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser 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 com-
partment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(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 should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach
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: see “

Garments requiring special care
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 (M1127)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade
mark is a Certification trade mark.
Delicates:
use programme
10
to wash very delicate gar-
ments having strasses or sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag for
washing delicates.
Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results.
To wash
silk
garments and
curtains
select cycle
10
and
then function
; the machine will end the cycle while
the laundry is soaking and the
indicator light will flash.
To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed,
press the START/PAUSE button or the
button.
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.
