– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60 °C max)
for all types of fabric, or special ones for
woollens only.
• The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on: type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the
load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and
hardness of the water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find on
packaging of the detergents or other treatments
without exceeding the indicated maximum level
(
).
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam during
washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods, always put
them inside the drum, not in the detergent
dispenser.
Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.
ECOLOGICAL HINTS
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewash in order to save detergent,
water and time (the environment is protected
too!).
• Loading the appliance to the maximum
capacity indicated for each programmes
helps to reduce energy and water
consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to
the quantity suggested by the detergent
producer and check the water hardness of your
domestic system. Refer to "Water hardness".
WATER HARDNESS
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a water
softener for washing machines. In areas where the
water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a
water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area, contact
your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water softener.
Obey the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the product.
PREPARE THE DRYING CYCLE
• Open the water tap.
• Check if the drain hose is connected properly.
Refer to installation chapter for more
information.
