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.
!
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.

Compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(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

Bleach cycle

!
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fa-
brics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics
and for wool.
This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn
stains. Place extra compartment 4 (supplied) into
compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful
not to exceed the "max" level marked on the central pivot
(see figure). To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour
the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the "Rinse"
programme and activate the "Stain removal"
bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any
fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash cycle
and enable the "Stain removal"
compartment 4 excludes the "Prewash".

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. 9 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 4 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Garments requiring special care

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.
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" provi-
ded that the garments are washed according to the instruc-
tions on the garment label and those issued by the manu-
f a c t u re r o f t h i s w a s h i n g m a c h i n e .
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which
should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with
goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle
number 11 "Duvets". 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 12): 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 ne-
cessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softe-
ners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this programme.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports shoes;
for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.
