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 contri-

bute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

! 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.

Open the detergent dispen-

ser drawer and pour in the

detergent or washing additi-

ve, as follows.

Compartment 1: Pre-wa-

sh detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the deter-

gent, make sure that extra

compartment 4 has been

removed.

Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the remo-

vable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage.

If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.

Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indica-

ted on the central pin.

Extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into com-

partment 1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the

“max” level indicated on the central pin.

Perform bleaching by pouring the bleach into additional

compartment 4 and set the programme .

! Traditional bleach should be used on resistant white

fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured and synthetics

fabrics and for wool.

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

Garments requiring special care

Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled

sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we

recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated

in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using liquid

detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.

Dark: use cycle 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This

programme is designed to maintain dark colours over

time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best

results when washing dark-coloured garments.

Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with

bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The program-

me is designed to remove bad odours while preserving the

fabric fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed loads should be

washed at 40°, and resistant cotton fabrics at 60°.

Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate

garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out

before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent

on delicate garments. For washing Silk items and Curtains,

select the relevant cycle and activate the option ; the

machine will end the cycle with the laundry soaked and

the indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the

laundry can be removed, press the START/PAUSE button

ro the option .

Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been

approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of

wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the

products are washed according to the instructions on the

garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this

washing machine. (M1128)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark

is a Certification trade mark.

Duvet: to wash single duvet (the weight of which should

not exceed 1 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose

down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle

number 6. 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 dispen-

ser drawer.

Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured

clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright

colours over time.

Cotton Standard 20°C (programme 12) ideal for lightly

soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved

at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at

40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates

at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.

20’ Refresh (programme 13) ideal for refreshing and

washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts

just 20 minutes and therefore saves both time and energy.

It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together

(except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Rapid 60’ (programme 14) is designed to wash moderately

soiled resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good

washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we

recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.
