Using your washer
Preparing your laundry....
Divide your laundry by fabric and colour fastness. Wash white
and coloured items separately.
Remember to empty pockets, removing especially those small
items like coins, paper, pins and badges that might jam the
pump. Fasten or remove loose buttons and fasten zippers.
Turn shirts inside out for better results.
Check wash labels
Garments and laundry generally have wash instruction labels
(which tell you if they shloud be dry-cleaned, hand washed
or machine washed) showing the wash temperature, how
to iron etc.
Important: fabrics should only be machine washed if their
labels show the appropriate symbol (see table 1 page 4).
Alternate small and large items when
loading your washer-dryer
This washer-dryer has an electronic load balancing control:
before carrying out the spin cycle, this device ensures that
the laundry is arranged as evenly as possible in the drum,
according to the type of fabric and the way it was initially
loaded. This will minimize vibration and noise even during
the fastest spin cycle. For best results however, we
recommend you alternate small and large items when you
load your washer-dryer remember to spread them out; never
wash large loads of terry cloth items.
Detergents and fabric softener
Open detergent dispenser
C
by pulling it outwards. Fill with
detergent and conditioner using the quantities indicated by
the manufacturer on the packet according to the load you
are washing, the water hardness and how soiled your laundry
is. As you become more familiar with your washer, you will
regulate the quantities according to your own personal
experience.
Compartment 1
Prewash cycle detergent
(powder)
Compartment 2
Wash cycle detergent
(powder or liquid)
Compartment 3
Fabric softner
Never fill compartment
3
above the grid.
Use compartment
2
for liquid detergent, filling the
compartment just before you start the washer. Remember
that liquid detergent is ideal for wash cycles with
temperatures up to 60°C and for the programmes with no
prewash cycle. Dispensers for liquid and powder detergents
which are placed inside the drum of the washer, are sold on
the market.
To improve the effectiveness of the washing cycle, we
recommend that you insert a detergent dispenser in the drum
before loading the laundry.
Do not use hand washing detergents since these produce
very heavy suds.
When using cold wash cycles, remember to reduce the
detergent dosage.
