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. 7,5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 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: Ariston 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
performance.
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.
