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 contri-
bute 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 deter-
gent or washing additive, as
follows.
! Do not pour detergent into
the middle compartment (*).
Detergent should only be
poured into the compartment
1.
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.
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 program-
mes 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
Garments requiring special care
Anti Stain: the programme 1 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 deter-
gent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended
if there are obstinate stains.
Anti Stain Quick: this programme is ideal for washing
the most difficult daily stains in 1 hour. It is ideal for mixed
fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as
it washes.

Whites: use this cycle 3 to wash white clothes. The pro-
gramme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.
Anti Allergy: use programme 6 to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved
by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool gar-
ments 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 washing
machine.
Delicates: use the cycle 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.
To wash silk garments and curtains select cycle 11 and
then function “Easy Iron”; the machine will end the cycle
while the laundry is soaking, the “Easy Iron” and START/
PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the RINSE
phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To drain the water
so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button.
Cotton 20°C ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads.
The effective performance levels achieved at cold
temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°,
are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at
varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
The Cycles 13-14 assure energy saving by eliminating the
need of heating water! These innovative programmes are
available for various fabrics (lightly soiled). For the best wa-
shing results we recommend the usage of a liquid deter-
gent; it is advisable to pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.
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 washing machine 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.
