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
contribute to environmental pollution.
Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too
much foam.
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and pour in
the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
Compartment 1:
Washing detergent
(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: we recommend this
compartment is used for liquid detergent.
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. 8 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3.5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 2 kg
Silk: max. 2 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 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken
of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.
Mix-Cool 30:
this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash
cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for
wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum
load of 3 kg.

Wool: wash cycle 9 can be used to wash all woollen
garments in the machine, even those carrying the hand
wash only
label. To achieve the best results, use a
special detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of
2 kg.
Delicates: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special detergent
which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains:we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.
Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of
which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special wash cycle number 11 Duvet. We recommend
that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges
folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of
the total volume of the drum is used.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid
detergent is used and placed inside the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Outwear(
wash cycle
12): 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 programme.
Sport Shoes (
wash cycle
13): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
