Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of de-

tergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste

and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances

which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance

of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric

(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing

temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents may

be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and

woollens

• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash

programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-

cial for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the

appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before

starting the wash programme.

If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash

must be selected.

Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which

allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on

quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in

the detergent dispenser drawer .

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type

of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the

water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quan-

tities to use.

Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of

hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your

area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-

pany, or from your local authority. If the water hardness

degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water

softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.

When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity

of the detergent.

First use

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections

comply with the installation instructions.

• Remove the polystyrene block and any material from

the drum.

• Pour 2 liters of water into the main wash compartment

 of the detergent drawer in order to activate the

ECO valve. Then run a cotton cycle at the highest tem-

perature without any laundry in the machine, to remove

any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.

Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash

compartment and start the machine.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
