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.
!
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 because these
create too much foam.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: 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 values listed in the "Table of wash
cycles", which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme
6, even those carrying the "hand-wash only"
best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5
kg of laundry.
Silk: use special wash cycle 7 to wash all silk garments. We
recommend the use of special detergent which has been
designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Use wash cycle 7.

Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour

additive, as follows.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a
liquid detergent. Use programme 8.
Sport Light (wash cycle 9): is for washing lightly soiled sports
clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we
recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in
the "Table of wash cycles". We recommend using a liquid
detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10): is for washing sports shoes;
for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.
Express Wash & Dry (wash cycle 13) was designed to
wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle may
be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 0.5 kg in
just 35 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat
cuffs, collars and stains.

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 bal-
ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.
