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 environmen-
tal 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 deter-
gent or washing additive, as
follows.
Compartment 1: Pre-wash
detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent,
make sure that extra compart-
ment 4 has been removed.
Compartment 2: Washing
detergent (powder or liquid)
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the remova-
ble plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage. If
powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.
Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated
on the central pin.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into compart-
ment 1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the “max” level
indicated on the central pin.
Perform bleaching by pouring the bleach into additional com-
partment 4, pour the detergent and any fabric softener you wish
to use, set the desired wash cycle and enable the function.
! 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 “Table of wash
cycles”. We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the
amount suitable for a half-load.
Dark: use cycle 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This
programme 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 designed to remove bad odours while preserving the fabric
fibres. 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.
Wool: the wool wash programme 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. (M1126)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a
Certification trade mark.
Duvet: to wash single duvets (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 Standard 20° (programme 12) ideal for
lightly 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.
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°.
