Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent won’t necessarily
make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build
up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the
environment.

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.

Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in the
detergent and fabric softe-
ner, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into
the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment

, avoid excee-

ding the “max” level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine during
the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some
water will be left in compartment

. This is used for the inlet

of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the
more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal
amount of water remain in compartment

, this means the

emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see

“Care and maintenance”

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 listed values, which refer to the weight

of the laundry when dry:

  Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg
  Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
  Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
  Wool: max. 1 kg
  Silk: max. 1 kg

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

Special wash cycles

Mix 30’:

this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soi-

led garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore
saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (

at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together

(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.

Mix 15’:

this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled

garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves
both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at
30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except
for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Baby cycle:

this wash cycle can be used to remove the

soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all
detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the
delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. 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. At the end of
the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to
prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle press the
START/PAUSE button.

Silk:

use special wash cycle

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 .
