Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct

dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't

necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may

in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance

and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent

dispenser and pour in

the detergent and fabric

softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent

directly into the compartment using the appropriate

dosing cup.
compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid

exceeding the "max" level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine

during the last wash. At the end of the wash

programme, some water will be left in compartment

3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners

into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated

softeners. Should more than a normal amount of

water remain in compartment 3, this means the

emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions,

see “Care and maintenance”.

compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with

wash cycles 2, 3, 7,

.

Pour the bleach into compartment 4; pour the

detergent and softener into the corresponding

compartments, then select one of the

abovementioned wash cycles.

This option is recommended only for very soiled

cotton garments.

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 listed values, which refer to the

weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1 kg

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

Shirts: use special wash cycle 10 to wash shirts in

various fabrics and colours.

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments

and minimises the formation of creases.

Silk: use special wash cycle 11 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 11.

Wool: is the only washing machine manufacturer to

have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark

Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the

Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen

garments may be washed in the washing machine,

even those which state “hand wash only”

on the

label. Wash cycle 12 therefore offers complete peace

of mind when washing woollen garments in the

washing machine (max. load 1 kg) and guarantees

optimal performance.

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.
