FLUFF IN THE FABRICS
During the washing and/or drying phase, some
types of fabric, (sponge, wool, sweatshirt) could
release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during
the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend
that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed
and dried light coloured fabrics (hand towel,
wool, sweatshirt ) and the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air when they
are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty drum,
the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
To remove the fluff inside the drum, set a
special programme:
• Empty the drum.
• Clean the drum, the gasket and the door with a
wet cloth.
• Set the Machine Clean programme and the
Mode - Dry together to activate the anti-fluff
action.
• Touch the Start/Pause
button to start the
programme.
If the appliance is frequently used,
carry out the cleaning programme
regularly.
HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
THE LAUNDRY LOAD
• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the laundry
care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first
wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first couple of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with
printed illustrations inside out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and
put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts.
Use a washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts,
tights, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems
with the spin phase leading to excessive
vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and open the
door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so that the
items are spaced evenly around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button. The spin
phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts, cords, shoelaces, ribbons
and any other loose elements.
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
STUBBORN STAINS
For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains
before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the type
of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND OTHER TREATMENTS
• Only use detergents and other treatments
specially made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
excluding delicate. Prefer powder
detergents containing bleach for whites and
laundry sanitization
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60 °C max)
