Fluff in the fabrics
During the washing and/or drying phase, some types of
fabric, (sponge, sweatshirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the
next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend that
you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and
dried light coloured fabrics (new sponge,
sweatshirt ) and the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air when they are
washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty drum, the
gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
Hints and tips
The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics,
delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first
wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with
painted illustrations inside out.
• Remove hard stains with a special detergent.
• Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains before putting
items in drum
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks and
put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts. Use
a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items
(e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems with
the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the
items in the tub and start the spin phase again.
Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains before
you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the special
stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and
fabric.
Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives specially made
for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40 °C
max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for
all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the
correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on
packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and colour of
the fabric, the programme temperature and the level
of soil.
• If your appliance does not have the detergent
dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid
detergents with a dosing ball (supplied by the
detergent's manufacturer).
