Good 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 a
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
!
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.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
!
Do not pour detergent into
the middle compartment (
*
).
compartment 1: Deter-
gent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the
removable plastic partition
A
(supplied) be used for proper
dosage. If powder detergent is used, place the partition
into slot
B
.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
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: see “
Table of wash cycles
”.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Daily Mix Wash & Dry
use programme
1
to wash and
dry mixed garments (cotton and synthetics). This cycle
may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3 kg;
we
recommend the use of liquid detergent.
The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to re-
duce the formation of creases on garments, making them
easier to iron.
Shirts Wash & Dry:
use programme
2
to wash and dry
shirts and T-shirts in different fabrics and colours to ensure
maximum care. This cycle may be used to wash and dry
loads of up to 2 kg. To achieve optimum results, use liquid
detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains. The use of
the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the for-
mation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Pre Iron:
use this programme immediately before ironing;
max. 1.5 kg load. The use of the steam in this programme
is optimised to reduce the formation of creases on gar-
ments, making them easier to iron.
Steam Refresh:
for refreshing garments, neutralised unple-
asant odours and relaxing the fibres by delivering steam into
the drum. The garments will be damp at the end of the cycle.
Anti-Stain Turbo 45’:
this cycle ensures excellent stain
removal capacity even at 20°C in just 45 minutes. The tem-
perature of this cycle can be increased up to 40°C.
Anti-Stain Power 20°C:
this programme ensures ma-
ximum stain removal capacity with no need for pre-treat-
ment at low temperatures, preserving fabrics and colours.
Multi Colour:
for washing coloured cotton garments.
This programme is optimised to keep colours bright even
after repeated washing.
Ultra Delicates
:
use programme
11
to wash very delica-
te garments having strasses or sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing
and placing small items into the special bag for washing delica-
tes. Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 165 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
Wool -
Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved
by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool gar-
ments 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 washer-
dryer.
Sport:
for washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits,
shorts, towels, 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.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is
not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin
speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washer-
dryer performs the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we
recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
