Detergent dispenser drawer
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 (
*
).
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
For best results liquid detergent should be poured in the
dispenser immediately before the start of the programme.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
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 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 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Detergents and laundry
Special wash cycles
Cotton 20°:
ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effec-
tive performance levels achieved at cold temperatures,
which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed
by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed,
with repeated and frequent peaks.
Baby:
use the special wash cycle
to remove the 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 deter-
gent.
Bed&Bath:
use programme to wash bed linen and to-
wels in one single cycle: it optimises softener performance
and helps you save time and energy. We recommend the
use of powder detergent.
Wool:
all wool garments can be washed using programme
, even those carrying the “hand-wash only”
label.
For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed
2 kg of laundry.
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
.
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.
