Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Openthedetergentdi-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
compartment 1: Deter-
gent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only
be poured in immediately prior
to the start of wash cycle.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 3: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash
cycles 6. Pour the bleach into extra compartment 3; pour
the detergent and softener into the corresponding com-
partments, then select one of the abovementioned wash
cycles.
This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton
garments.
Preparing the laundry
•Dividethelaundryaccordingto:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites
•Emptyallgarmentpocketsandcheckthebuttons.
•Donotexceedthelistedvalues,whichrefertotheweight
of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 15 lb - (7 kg)
Syntheticfabrics:max.6.6lb-(3kg)
Delicate fabrics: max. 4.4 lb - (2 kg)
Wool: max. 3.30 lb - (1,5 kg)
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 14-17 oz - (400-500 g)
1 pillow case 5-7 oz - (150-200 g)

Garments requiring special care
Wool:Aristonistheonlywasher-dryermanufacturertohave
been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care en-
dorsement(M.0508)bytheWoolmarkCompany,whichme-
ans that all woollen garments may be washed in the washer-
dryer, even those which state “hand wash only” on the
label. Wash cycle 10 therefore offers complete peace of mind
when washing woollen garments in the washer-dryer (max.
load 3.30 lb - 1,5 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.
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.
Helpful Hints
Your washer Dryer features three different speeds during the
wash cycle. During the Cotton cycle the drum spins at 1,200
or800rpm.DuringPermanentPressthedrumspinsat850
rpm. During delicates, the drum spins at 500 rpm. When Drying
heavy cotton articles, such as bath towels or jeans, be sure the
“Regular”washersettingisselected.Thefasterspinningwill
extract more water from these highly absorment fabrics and
reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes into the
drying mode. This will cut down on your drying time.
Use Liquid Fabric Softener. Fill the softener compartment
up to the level marked. Using fabric softner fluffs out clothes
immediately after tha wash cycle. This helps speed drying
time and reduce wrinkles.

To dry your laundry, the Washer Dryer blows heated air
intotherotatingdrum.Asthedrumtumblesyourlaundry,the
warm air dries it. If the drum is overfilled with laundry, the air is
not allowed to circulate and clothes will not dry properly.
Use Low sudsing Detergent. This is recommended for
all front loading washers. It ensures there is no over sudsing,
whichmayreducetheperformanceofyourmachine.Also,
this prevents damage to your machine which may be caused
by excess suds entering the condensing chamber and clog-
ging the fan blower mechanism with lint.
When sorting laundry always take into consideration
the quantity and type of fabric contained in the load. Highly
absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans will
abosorb more water and become very heavy when saturated.
If you notice that your clothes are taking longer than usual to
dry may be overloading the machine, or washing too many
highly absorbent articles for a single load.
