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.
!
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.
!
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)
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.
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. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg

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.
Whites:
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:
use the special wash cycle
8
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 detergent.
Wool:
is the only washing machine manufacturer to have
been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care
endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which
means that all woollen garments may be washed in the
washing machine, even those which state “hand wash
only”
on the label. Wash cycle
9
therefore offers
complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments
in the washing machine (max. load 1,5 kg) and guarantees
optimal performance.
Delicates:
use programme
10
to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
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.
To wash
silk
garments and
curtains
select the cycle
10
and set the “
Delicate
” level from option
; the machine
will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the
START/PAUSE” indicator light will flash. To drain the water
so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button.
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, Synthetics and Fast 30’)
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.
