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 because these
create too much foam.
!
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.
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
!
Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1 .
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2 .
Compartment 2: Washing detergent (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 must not exceed the “max” level indicated
on the central pin
.
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 values listed in the
“Table of wash
cycles” , which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
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
Sport
(programme
1
) is designed for washing lightly soiled
sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we
recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated
in the
“Table of wash cycles”
. We recommend using liquid
detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.
Dark:
use programme
2
to wash dark-coloured garments.
This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over
time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best
results when washing dark-coloured garments.
When you select the drying function, at the end of the
washing cycle the machine will automatically perform a
delicate drying cycle that preserves the colours of the
garments. The display will show the level “ ”.
Max. load: 2,5 kg.
Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments
with bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The
programme is designed to remove bad odours while
preserving the fabric fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed
loads should be washed at 40°, and resistant cotton
fabrics at 60°.
Delicate : use programme 4 to wash very delicate
garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out
before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent
on delicate garments.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue :
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 (M1126)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Rapid 30’ (programme 6 ) this programme is designed to
wash lightly soiled garments at 30° (excluding wool and
silk) with a 3 kg maximum load in a short time: it only lasts
30 minutes and allows for saving time and energy.
Coloured: use this programme 9 to wash bright coloured
clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright
colours over time.
Eco Cotton 20°C
(programme
11
) ideal for lightly soiled
cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at
cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at
40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates
at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
Eco Synthetic 20°C (programme 12 ) ideal for mixed
loads (cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The
effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures
are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at
varying speed, across set average intervals.
