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.
! 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.
! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too
much foam.
Open the detergent dispenser
drawer and pour in the deter-
gent or washing additive, as
follows.
! Do not pour detergent into the
middle compartment (*). Deter-
gent should only be poured into
the compartment 1.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper
dosage.
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.
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 program-
mes and 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 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Garments requiring special care
Anti Stain: the cycle 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled gar-
ments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class
that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if
there are obstinate stains.
Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The pro-
gramme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.
Anti Allergy 60°: use the cycle 6 to remove major
allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Anti Allergy 40°: (cycle 7) cycle studied for cotton laundry
and other resistant fabrics to guarantee the removal of
pollen and cat and dog hair already at 40°.
Lingerie: for undergarments of any colour, in any fabric.
Use special wash cycle 8.
Baby: use the special wash cycle 9 to remove the soiling
typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of
detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate
skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. 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.
Bed & Bath: use the cycle 10 to wash bed linen and to-
wels in one single cycle: it optimises softener performan-
ce and helps you save time and energy. We recommend
the use of powder detergent.
Cotton Standard 20°: (cycle 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.
Shirts: use the cycle 12 to wash shirts in different fabrics and
colours to guarantee they receive the best possible care.
Wool: 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)
Delicates: use the cycle 14 to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag for
washing delicates.
Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results.
To wash silk garments and curtains select cycle 14 and
then function “Easy Iron” (in this case it will also be possible
to enable the “Extra Rinse” option); the machine will end
the cycle while the laundry is soaking, the “Easy Iron” and
START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the
RINSE phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To drain
the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the
START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin 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.
