14.3 Detergent type and

quantity

The choice of detergent and use of

correct quantities not only affects your

wash performance, but also helps to

avoid waste and protect the environment:

• Use only detergents and other

treatments specially made for

washing machines. First, follow these

generic rules:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer

powder detergents containing

bleach for whites and laundry

sanitization,

– liquid detergents, preferably for

low temperature wash

programmes (60 °C max) for all

types of fabric, or special ones for

woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent

will depend on: type of fabric

(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the

colour of clothes, size of the load,

degree of soiling, wash temperature

and hardness of the water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find

on packaging of the detergents or

other treatments without exceeding

the indicated maximum level (

• Do not mix different types of

detergents.

15. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

15.1 Periodic cleaning

schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the

life of your appliance.

After each cycle, keep the door and the

detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air

circulation and dry the humidity inside

the appliance: this will prevent mildew

and odours.

If the appliance is not used for a long

time: close the water tap and unplug the

appliance.

• Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,

– the laundry is lightly soiled,

– there is large amounts of foam

during washing.

• When using detergent tabs or pods,

always put them inside the drum, not

in the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• greasy clothes,

• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,

• reduced washing effect,

• inadequate rinsing,

• a greater impact for the environment.

14.4 Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash

phase to wash laundry with normal

soil.

• Always start a washing programme

with the maximum load of laundry

allowed.

• If you pre-treat the stains, you can

use a stain remover when you set a

programme with a low temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of

detergent, refer to the quantity

suggested by the detergent producer.
