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: 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 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 3: Bleach

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

Special wash cycles

Cotton Standard 20°: (programme ) ideal for heavily

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.

Mix 30’: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled

garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves

both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C),

it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool

and silk items), with a maximum load of 3,5 kg.

Mix 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 ( at 30°C),

it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool

and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Baby cycle: this wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling

typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is

removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of

babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been designed

to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of

water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives

added to the detergent. At the end of the wash cycle, the

machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation

of creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Silk: use special wash cycle 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 .

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For

best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 2 kg

of laundry.

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 machine 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.
