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.
!
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.
!
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 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra
compartment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(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 should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach
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
programmes and 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
Anti Stain:
the programme
1
is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if
there are obstinate stains.
White Cotton:
use this cycle
2
to wash white clothes. The
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.
Anti Allergy:
use programme
7
to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Baby Cycle:
use the special wash cycle
8
to remove the
soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all traces
of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate
skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle
has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by
using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect
of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.
Wool:
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)
Delicates:
use programme
10
to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
To wash
silk
garments and
curtains
select the cycle
10
and set the “
Delicate
” level from option
.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate
garments for best results.
Eco cycles
The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the
need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your
energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco
programmes (Cottons
12
, Synthetics
13
and Fast 30’
14
)
are available for various fabrics and different quantity of
garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high
cleaning action even at low temperature and can be used
for lightly to medium soiled loads. Eco Cycles give the
best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water
optimization and are carried out in the same average time
of a standard cycle. For the best washing results with Eco
Cycles we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
