WARNING: before you use the washing machine for
the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no

Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the
maximum load value indicated in the table of wash
cycles on the following page.
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. There is no
need to add detergent when the "Auto Dose System"

detergent on the basis of the selected programme,
type of load and water hardness. Refer to the
paragraph "Traditional mode for implementing the
traditional operation mode.

Bag for quilts, curtains and delicate garments
The Aqualtis washing machine makes it easier for you to
wash even the most valuable and delicate garments in
complete confidence thanks to the special bag which
protects the laundry (this is supplied with the machine).
We recommend that the bag is used every time you
wash quilts and padded items with an outer layer made
using synthetic material.
