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 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; they create too
much foam.
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
!
Do not pour detergent into
the middle compartment (
*
).
compartment 1:
Detergent 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.
extra compartment 3: Bleach
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
programmes and 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 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

to wash and dry
mixed garments (cotton and synthetics). This cycle may be

we recommend
the use of liquid detergent.
The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to
reduce the formation of creases on garments, making
them easier to iron.

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

and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains. The use of the steam
in this programme is optimised to reduce the formation of
creases on garments, making them easier to iron.

max. 1.5 kg load. The use of the steam in this programme is
optimised to reduce the formation of creases on garments,

If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle
automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle that
resembles open-air drying, with the added advantages
of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the
possible presence of dust in the air. Dryness level “
A2
”
recommended.
Anti-Stain
:
the programme is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class
that is higher than the standard class (A class).
When running the programme, do not mix garments of
different colours. We recommend the use of powder
detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is
recommended if there are obstinate stains.

Multicolor:
for washing coloured cotton garments. This
programme is optimised to keep colours bright even after
repeated washing.
Ultradelicates
:
use programme
11
to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag
for washing delicates. 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 --> 150 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.
To wash

Wool -
Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved
by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool
garments 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. (M1318)
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
programmes and 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
before every spin 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.
