12. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

12.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white,

coloured, synthetics, delicates and

wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the

laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items

together.

• Some coloured items can discolour

with the first wash. We recommend

that you wash them separately for the

first couple of times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty pockets and unfold.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and

items with printed illustrations inside

out.

• Pre-treat tough stains.

• Wash heavy soil stains with a special

detergent.

• Be careful with curtains. Remove the

hooks and put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or

with cuts.

• Use a washing bag to wash small

and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired

bras, belts, tights, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase leading

to excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a. interrupt the programme and

open the door (refer to "Daily

Use" chapter);

b. manually redistribute the load so

that the items are spaced evenly

around the tub;

c. press the Start/Pause button.

The spin phase continues.

12.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is

not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these

stains before you put the items in the

appliance.
Special stain removers are available.

Use the special stain remover that is

applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

12.3 Detergents and other

treatments

• Only use detergents and other

treatments specially made for

washing machines:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer

powder detergents containing

bleach for whites and laundry

sanitization

– liquid detergents, preferably for

low temperature wash

programmes (60 °C max) for all

types of fabric, or special ones for

woollens only.
