13. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,

synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that

are 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 times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and

items with painted illustrations inside

out.

• Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains

with a suitable detergent before

putting in drum.

• Be careful with the 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,

shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase leading

to excessive vibration. If this occurs:

- interrupt the programme and open

the door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);

-manually redistribute the load so that

the items are spaced evenly around

the tub;

-press the Start/Pause button. The

spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,

cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any

other loose elements.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the

items.

13.2 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.

13.3 Detergent type and

quantity

The choice of detergent and use of

correct quantities not only affects your

wash performance, but also helps to

avoid waste and protect the environment:
• Use only detergents and other

treatments specially made for
