Detergents and laundry
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 build
up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to envi-
ronmental pollution.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these create
too much foam.
Open the detergent dispen-
ser drawer and pour in the
detergent or washing additi-
ve, as follows.
!
Do not pour detergent into the compartment
1
. Detergent
should only be poured into the compartment
2
.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior
to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: 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. 9 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 4 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 2 kg
Silk: max. 2 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
Wool:
all wool garments can be washed using programme
5
, 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
6
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
6
.
Jeans:
Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a
liquid detergent. Use programme
7
.
Express 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
(
8
at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (ex-
cept for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg.
Outwear
(wash cycle
10
): is studied for washing water-
repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester,
nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage
suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if
necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing
softeners.
Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this pro-
gramme.
Sport Intensive
(programma
11
): is for washing heavily
soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for
best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum
load indicated in the
“Programme table”
.
Sport Light
(programma
12
): is for washing lightly soiled
sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best
results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load
indicated in the
“Programme table”.
We recommend using
a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Special Shoes
(programma
13
): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs si-
multaneously.
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 ma-
chine 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.
