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

contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too

much foam.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

Compartment 1: Pre-

wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the

detergent, make sure that

extra compartment 4 has

been removed.

Compartment 2: Washing detergent (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.

Extra compartment 4: Bleach

Extra compartment 5: we recommend this

compartment is used for liquid detergent.

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 listed values, which refer to the

weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 8 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 2 kg

Silk: max. 2 kg

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

Special wash cycles

Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and

use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.

Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various

fabrics and colours.

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and

minimises the formation of creases.

Mix-Cool 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 wash

cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for

wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum

load of 3 kg.

Wool: wash cycle 9 can be used to wash all woollen

garments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand wash

only” label. To achieve the best results, use a special

detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2 kg.

Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments.

We recommend the use of special detergent which has been

designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place

them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.

Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which

should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with

goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle

number 11 “Duvets”. 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 dispenser drawer.

Outwear (

wash cycle

12): is studied for washing water-

repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex,

polyester, nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent

and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs

and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or detergents

containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed

with this programme.

Sport Shoes (

wash cycle

13): is for washing sports

shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs

simultaneously.
