Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Successful 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 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
dispenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
Compartment 1: Pre-
wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the
detergent, make sure that
extra compartment 4 has
been removed.
Compartment 2: Washing detergent (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.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach
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 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken
of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.
Mix-Cool 30’: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly
soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore
saves both energy and time. By selecting wash cycle 8, it is
possible to wash different fabrics (except for wool and silk
items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum load of 3 kg.
Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 9) ideal for heavily
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.
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been
tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the
washing of wool containing garments labelled as “hand
wash” provided that the garments are washed according
to the instructions on the garment label and those issued
by the manufacturer of this washing machine. (M1127)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade
mark is a Certification trade mark.
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: we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 11.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which
should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with
goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash
cycle number 12. We recommend that duvets are placed
in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and
that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent
is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
Outwear (wash cycle 13): 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 Shoes (wash cycle 14): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
