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.
Compartment A: Washing detergent (powder or
liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
Compartment B: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Extra compartment C:
we recommend this
compartment is used for liquid detergent.
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 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Jeans:
turn the garments inside out before washing and
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle
5
.
Shirts:
use special wash cycle
6
to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours.
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and
minimises the formation of creases.
Wool:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been
tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the
washing of wool containing garments labelled as “hand
wash” provided that the garments are washed according
to the instructions on the garment label and those issued
by the manufacturer of this washer-dryer. (M1127)

C
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade
mark is a Certification trade mark.
Delicates:
use special wash cycle
8
to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special detergent
which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains:
we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle
8
.
Duvet:
to wash double or single duvets (the weight
of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special wash cycle number
9
“Duvet”. We recommend
that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded
inwards
(see figure)
and that no more than
¾
of the total
volume of the drum is used.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a
liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Sport Shoes
(wash cycle
10
): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin 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 washer-dryer 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.
