Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good 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 because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent
dispenser 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
Bleach cycle
Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with
wash cycles 1, 2, 6.
Pour the bleach into extra compartment 3; 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 listed values, which refer to the
weight of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg
Silk: max. 1 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 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Garments requiring special care
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: is the only washer-dryer manufacturer to have
been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum
Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark
Company, which means that all woollen garments
may be washed in the washer-dryer, even those
which state hand wash only
on the label. Wash
cycle 10 therefore offers complete peace of mind
when washing woollen garments in the washer-dryer
(max. load 1,5 kg) and guarantees optimal performan-
ce.
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 balance,
we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.
Anti-crease
This function interrupts the wash programme, and the
washing is left to soak in water before the appliance
is drained.
It can only be used with programme 9 (Silk/Curtains)
and helps to prevent the formation of creases.
To complete the cycle press the START/PAUSE
button.
