• 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. ).
26 ENGLISH
• 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.
15.2 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.
Do not spray stain remover on garments near
the appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic
parts.
15.3 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 washing machines.
First, follow these generic rules:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing bleach
for whites and laundry sanitization,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60 °C
max) for all types of fabric, or special
ones for woollens only.
• The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on: type of fabric (delicates,
woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of
clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling,
wash temperature and hardness of the
water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find on
packaging of the detergents or other
treatments without exceeding the
indicated maximum level (
).
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam during
washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not in
the detergent dispenser.
Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause:
ENGLISH 27
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.
15.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow
these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewash in order to save
detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
• Loading the appliance to the maximum
capacity indicated for each
programmes helps to reduce energy
and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower
temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent,
refer to the quantity suggested by the
detergent producer and check the water
hardness of your domestic system. Refer
to "Water hardness".
15.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a
water softener for washing machines. In
