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.

! Do not pour detergent into

the compartment 1.

Detergent should only be

poured into the compartment

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 indicated

on the central pin.

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 programme 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.

When you select the drying function, at the end of the

washing cycle the machine will automatically perform a

delicate drying cycle that preserves the colours of the

garments. The display will show the level “ ”.

Max. load: 2,5 kg.

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.

When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,

a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle

that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and

appropriate temperature control of the water jet.

The recommended durations are:

1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min

1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min

1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min

The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric

composition.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:

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 (M1126)

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

is a Certification trade mark.

Rapid 30’ (programme 6) this programme is designed to

wash lightly soiled garments at 30° (excluding wool and

silk) with a 3 kg maximum load in a short time: it only lasts

30 minutes and allows for saving time and energy

Coloured: use this programme 9 to wash bright coloured

clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright

colours over time.

Eco Cotton 20° (programme 11) 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.

Eco Synthetic 20° (programme 12) ideal for mixed

loads (cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The

effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures

are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at

varying speed, across set average intervals.

Wash&Dry 45’ select programme

for washing and

drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in

a short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a

laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes. To achieve

optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs,

collars and stains.

AirFresh (programme

) ideal cycle to refresh garments

and remove bad odours, in particular smoke, from cotton

and synthetic items in 30’ (max 1.5 kg) without the

washing phase.
