Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-

rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause

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.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

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 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

Garments requiring special care

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

6, 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 7 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 7.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use

a liquid detergent. Use programme 8.

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

washer-dryer performs the distribution process instead of

spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal-

ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed

in the load.
