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
contribute to environmental pollution.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too
much foam.

Preparing the laundry

• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the
weight of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 8 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 2 kg
Silk: max. 2 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?

Special wash cycles

Compartment 1: Pre-
wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the
detergent, make sure that
extra compartment 4 has
been removed.
Mix-Cool 30': this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash
cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for
wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum
load of 3 kg.
Wool: wash cycle 9 can be used to wash all woollen
garments in the machine, even those carrying the "hand wash
only" label. To achieve the best results, use a special
detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2 kg.
Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments.
We recommend the use of special detergent which has been
designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which
should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with
goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle
number 11 "Duvets". We recommend that duvets are placed
in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and
that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent
is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
Outwear (wash cycle 12): is studied for washing water-
repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex,
polyester, nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent
and dosage suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs
and stains if necessary; do not use softeners or detergents
containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed
with this programme.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
