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 a
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.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-
washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder
or liquid)
For best results liquid detergent should be poured in the
dispenser immediately before the start of the programme.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
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: see “Table of wash
cycles”.
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
Cotton Standard 20°: this wash cycle 4 ideal for light-
ly 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 fre-
quent peaks.
Baby Cycle: this wash cycle 10 can be used to remove
the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that
all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent
the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The
cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria
by using a greater quantity of water and optimising
the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the
detergent.
At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate
the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the
cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 11 to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours.
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and
minimises the formation of creases.
Lingerie Cycle: for undergarments of any colour, in any
fabric. Use special wash cycle 12.
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been ap-
proved 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)
Silk: use special wash cycle 14 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 14.
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 machine 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.
