Preparing your laundry
Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.
Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
Do not exceed the maximum load values shown
in the "Programme table".
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 items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and
load a maximum of 3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle
once or twice.
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1,5 kg.
Sportswear: use the "Special Sport"
programme. It is possible to run an initial pre-wash
phase, which is useful for removing soil or mud
residues from the garments. To use this phase, pour
powder detergent into compartment 1 of the
detergent drawer (see Washing machine
description).
The pre-wash phase will not run if the timer knob is
set to a duration between 30 minutes and 1 hour
(inclusive).
Load-balancing system
To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin
cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform
manner by continuously rotating the drum at a
speed which is slightly faster than the normal
washing speed.
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still
not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower
speed than the set frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine
attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration
of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
