Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-

rily 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 because these

create too much foam.

! 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.

Open the detergent di-

spenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, 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 values listed in the “Table of wash

cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

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

Garments requiring special care

Outwear (wash cycle 9): 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.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

10, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label.

For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed

1,5 kg of laundry.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a

liquid detergent. Use programme 11.

Sport Intensive (programma 12): 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 13): 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.

Special Shoes (programma 14): is for washing sports

shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs si-

multaneously.

The 20° wash cycles (Zone 20°) offer effective washing

performance at low temperatures, reducing electricity

usage and expenditure while benefitting the environment.

The 20° wash cycles meet all requirements:

Cotton Standard (programme 6) 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.

Mix Light (programme 7) ideal for mixed loads (cotton

and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The effective

performance levels achieved at cold temperatures are

guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at

varying speed, across set average intervals.

20’ Refresh (programme 8) ideal for refreshing and

washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts

just 20 minutes and therefore saves both time and energy.

It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together

(except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

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.
