Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good 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 inside of your appliance and

contribute to environmental pollution.

 Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create  too  much  foam.

Open  the  detergent

dispenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

compartment A: 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  B:  Additives  (fabric  softeners,

etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

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 

5

.

Shirts:

 use special wash cycle 

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 

7

, 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 

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.

Delicates:

 use special wash cycle 

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 

9

.

Sport Shoes

 (wash cycle 

10

): is for washing sports

shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs

simultaneously.

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 ma-

chine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is

excessively  unbalanced,  the  waher-dryer  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.
