Good 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 a
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 because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
!
Do not pour detergent into
the middle compartment (
*
).
compartment 1: 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 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 3: 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 listed values, which refer to the
weight of the laundry when dry: see “
Table of wash
cycles
”.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool gar-
ments 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
Baby
:
use the special wash cycle
10
to remove the remo-
ve 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 deter-
gent.
Anti-Allergy
:
use programme
11
to remove major aller-
gens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Bed & Bath 7 days
:
use programme
12
to wash bed
linen and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener
performance and helps you save time and energy. We
recommend the use of powder detergent
Silk
:
use special wash cycle
13
to wash all silk garments.
We recommend the use of special detergent which has
been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains
:
fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Use wash cycle
13
.
Padded Jackets:
to wash padded jackets, cushions
or clothes padded with goose down (the weight of which
should not exceed 2 kg), use the special
14
wash cycle.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the
washing machine performs the distribution process instead
of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are
mixed in the load.
