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 envi-
ronmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create
too much foam.
Open the detergent dispen-
ser drawer and pour in the
detergent or washing additi-
ve, as follows.
! Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1. Detergent
should only be poured into the compartment 2.
compartment 2: 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 3: 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:
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg
Silk: max. 1 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
Special wash cycles
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 5,
even those carrying the “hand-wash only”
label. For best
results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of
laundry.
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 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 6.
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a
liquid detergent. Use programme 7.
Express 15’: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly
soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore
saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle
(8 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (ex-
cept for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg.
Outwear (wash cycle 10): is studied for washing water-
repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester,
nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage
suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if
necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing
softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this pro-
gramme.
Sport Intensive (programma 11): is for washing heavily
soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for
best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum
load indicated in the “Programme table”.
Sport Light (programma 12): is for washing lightly soiled
sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best
results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load
indicated in the “Programme table”. We recommend using
a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Sport Shoes (programma 13): is for washing sports shoes;
for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simulta-
neously.
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 ma-
chine 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.
