Do you need to pre-wash?
Is a hot wash required?
Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.
To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. To maintain a good wash performance we recommend that the soap drawer and pump filters are regularly cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a proprietary cleaner is also recommended.
The manufacturers warranty only covers faults within the product of a mechanical or electrical nature. Faults caused by handling, installation or miss use are not covered and may incur a charge for any repair visit to resolve.
This washing machine automatically adjusts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing. This system gives a reduction in energy consumption and a saving in washing times.
Should power go out when the washing machine is running, a special memory saves the settings and, when power returns, the machine resumes the cycle from where it left off.
Wait until the door locked light turns off: about 2 minutes after the program ends.
For any type of wash, see the program table and follow the operating sequence as indicated.

Please read these notes:
* Maximum load capacity of dry clothes, according to the model used (see control panel).
** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and No 1061/2010.
COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 60°C.
COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 40°C.
These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.
These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared temperature of the cycle.
(Only for models with liquid detergent compartment)
When only a limited number of articles have stains which require treatment with liquid bleaching agents, preliminary removal of stain can be carried out in the washing machine.
Pour the bleach into the liquid bleach container, inserted into the compartment marked "2" in the detergent drawer, and set the special programme RINSE.
When this phase has terminated, turn the programme selector to the OFF position, add the rest of the fabrics and proceed with a normal wash on the most suitable programme.
To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programmes).
Whites
An intensive wash. The final spin at maximum speed gives more efficient removal.
Cottons + Prewash
This programme has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees the tough dirt removal. Add into compartment "1" a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for main wash.
EcoMix 20°
This innovative programme, allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only 20°C and provides an excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% of a conventional 40°C. cottons wash.
Cottons
This program is suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.
Synthetics
The washing and rinsing optimise the speed and rhythm of the drum action and water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.
Daily 59 Min.
This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The programme is designed for a reduced load (see table of programmes).
Rapid (14/30/44 Min.)
Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly dirty. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.
Rinse
This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button) . It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.
Drain + Spin
The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.
Delicates
This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable or washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.
Hand Wash
Program for hand wash only clothes, the program ends with 3 rinses and a slow spin.
Wool
This program performs a wash cycle dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine, or the articles to be washed by hand.
Baby Care
This program allows you to wash all baby clothes getting a perfect clean and sanitizing effect, setting the temperature at 60°C minimum.
To optimize the result of the sanitizing effect we recommend the use of powder detergent. The steam function following this program provides an effective hygienic sanitizing, reducing creasing, while making ironing easier.
Easy Iron
This wash program is suitable for mixed fabrics and uses a steam treatment that relaxes creases and regenerate fibres, which makes ironing the garment far easier.
Smart Touch
Customizable setting of the knob that you have to select when you would like to transfer a command from the App to the machine and to download/start a cycle (see the dedicated section and the user manual of the App for more info).
In the Smart Touch option the factory sets as a default the "Auto-Clean" cycle, made to clean the drum, remove bad smells and extend the life of the washing machine. Make sure there is no load in the drum before starting the "Auto-Clean" cycle, use a proprietary washing machine cleaning agent or powder detergent. Leave the door of the machine open at the end of the cycle to allow the drum to dry.
Recommended every 50 washes.

| Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins, hinges, buttons, etc…). |
The standard manufacturer warranty covers faults caused by electrical or mechanical faults in the product due to an act or omission of the manufacturer. If a fault is found to be caused by factors outside the product supplied, miss-use or as a result of the instructions on use not being followed, a charge may be applied.
The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:
- cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
- white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour.
To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
- foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
- abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry.
In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all.
We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.
If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.
