HINTS AND TIPS
THE LAUNDRY LOAD
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first
wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with painted illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks
or put the curtains in a washing bag or
pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance laundry without
hems or with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired
bras, belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems
with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust
manually the items in the tub and start the spin
phase again.
STUBBORN STAINS
For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these stains
before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the type
of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
• Only use detergents and additives specially
made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40
°C max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60 °C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for woollens
only.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than
the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on
packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and colour
of the fabric, the programme temperature and
the level of soil.
• If your appliance has not the detergent
dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid
detergents with a dosing ball (supplied by the
detergent's manufacturer).
ECOLOGICAL HINTS
• Set a programme without the prewash phase to
wash laundry with normal soil.
• Always start a washing programme with the
maximum load of laundry.
• If necessary, use a stain remover when you set a
programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of the detergent,
check the water hardness of your domestic
system
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
