Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent won’t necessarily make

for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on

the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

! 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 up the detergent

dispenser and pour in the

detergent and fabric softe-

ner, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into

the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid excee-

ding the “max” level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine during

the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some

water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet

of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the

more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal

amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the

emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see

“Care and maintenance”.

compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash

cycles 2, 3, 6.

Pour the bleach into compartment 4; pour the detergent and

softener into the corresponding compartments, then select

one of the abovementioned wash cycles.

This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton

garments.

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

Shirts: use special wash cycle 8 to wash shirts in various

fabrics and colours.

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and

minimises the formation of creases.

Silk: use special wash cycle 9 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 9.

Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Ariston machine has

been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company

for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable

provided that the garments are washed according to the

instructions on the garment label and those issued by the

manufacturer of this washing machine. Ariston is the first

washing machine brand to be approved by The Wool-

mark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing

performance and consumption of energy and water.

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

is a Certification trade mark.

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 ma-

chine 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.
