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 in-
side 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.
recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied)
be used for proper dosage. If powder detergent is used, place
the partition into slot B.

Bleach cycle

Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into compartment
1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the "max" level indicated
on the central pin.

partment 4 and set the programme
! Traditional bleach should be used on resistant white fabrics, and
delicate bleach for coloured and synthetics fabrics and for wool.

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

Garments requiring special care

Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled sports
clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend
not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "Programme
table". We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the
amount suitable for a half-load.
Dark: use cycle 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This pro-
gramme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We
recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when
washing dark-coloured garments.
Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with bad
odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme is de-
signed to remove bad odours while preserving the fabric fibres.

Open the detergent dispenser
drawer and pour in the detergent
or washing additive, as follows.
Compartment 1: Pre-wash

Before pouring in the detergent,
make sure that extra compart-
ment 4 has been removed.
Compartment 2: Washing

If liquid detergent is used, it is
.
Synthetics fabrics or mixed loads should be washed at 40°, and
resistant cotton fabrics at 60°.
Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments.
It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing
them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments.
For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the relevant cycle 4
and activate the option ; the machine will end the cycle with
the laundry soaked and the indicator light will flash. To drain the
water so that the laundry can be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button or the option
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The
Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments labelled
as "hand wash" provided that the products are washed according
to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. (M1126)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a
Certification trade mark.
Duvet: to wash single duvet (the weight of which should not
exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down
such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 6.
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.
Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured clothes. The
programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time.
Cotton 20° (programme 12) ideal for
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.
Eco Synthetic (programme 13) 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.
Rapid (programme 14) allows for varying the garment treatment
duration from 9' to 60'. Pressing the corresponding "Rapid" button
allows for varying the cycle duration between 9' (refresh), 30' (wash),
60' (wash). The 9' cycle refreshes garments using fabric softener only;
it is advisable not to add any detergent into the machine. The 30'
cycle is designed to wash lightly soiled garments at 30° (excluding
wool and silk) with a 3 kg maximum load in a short time: it only lasts
30 minutes and allows for saving time and energy. The 60' cycle is
designed to wash moderately soiled resistant cotton garments at 60°
in an hour, with good washing performance. For synthetic or mixed
garments, we recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.
