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.
Open the detergent dispen-
ser 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: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach
Extra compartment 5:
we recommend this compart-
ment is used for liquid detergent.
Bleach cycle
!
Traditional
bleach should be used on sturdy white fa-
brics, and
delicate
bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics
and for wool.
This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn
stains. Place extra compartment
4
(supplied) into
compartment
1
. When pouring in the bleach, be careful
not to exceed the “
max
” level marked on the central pivot
(see figure).
To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour
the bleach into extra compartment
4
, set the “Rinse”
programme and activate the “Intensive Wash” option.
To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and
any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash
cycle and enable the “Intensive Wash” option. The use
of extra compartment
4
excludes the “Prewash”.
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:
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg
Silk: max. 1 kg
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
Garments requiring special care
Jeans:
turn the garments inside out before washing and
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle
7
.
Shirts:
use special wash cycle
8
to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken
of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.
Mix-Cool 30’:
this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash
cycle
9
, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for
wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum
load of 3 kg.
Wool:
wash cycle
10
can be used to wash all woollen
garments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand
wash only”
label. To achieve the best results, use a
special detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of
1,5 kg.
Silk:
use special wash cycle
11
to wash all silk garments.
We recommend the use of special detergent which has
been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains:
we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle
11
.
Sport Shoes
(wash cycle
12
): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously
Outwear
(wash cycle
13
): is studied for washing water-re-
pellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester,
nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage
suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if
necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing
softeners.
Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this
programme.
.
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 ma-
chine 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.
