Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful 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; they create too 

much foam.

Open the detergent 
dispenser drawer and pour 
in the detergent or washing 
additive, as follows.

Compartment A: Washing detergent (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. 

extra compartment C: 

we recommend this 

compartment is used for liquid detergent.

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. 8 kg
  Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg
  Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
  Wool: max. 2 kg
  Silk: max. 2 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 900-1,200 g
  1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

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.

A

C

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  
2 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 

8

.

Duvet:

 to wash double or single duvets (the weight 

of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes 
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the 
special wash cycle number 

9

 “Duvet”. We recommend 

that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded 
inwards 

(see figure) 

and that no more than 

¾

 of the total 

volume of the drum is used.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a 
liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent 
dispenser drawer.

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 
before every spin 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 washer-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.
