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.

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.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

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

Special wash cycles

Silk: use special wash cycle 9 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 9.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

10, even those carrying the "hand-wash only"

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.

Open the detergent dispen-

ser drawer and pour in the

detergent or washing additi-

ve, as follows.

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 (20° Zone) 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 20° (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 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.
