Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
GB
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.

- 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: use special wash cycle 7 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 7.
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use
a liquid detergent. Use programme 8.
Express: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly
soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and the-
refore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash
cycle (9 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics
together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum
load of 1,5 kg.
Outwear (programma 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 programme.
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 suita-
ble for a half-load.
Sport Shoes (programma 13): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
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.
