Detergents and laundry

Detergent

GB
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on
the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.),
as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of
soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage
and help to protect the environment: although they are
biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which
alter the balance of nature.
We recommend the following:
• use powder detergents for white cotton garments and
pre-washing.
• use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and
for all low-temperature wash cycles.
• use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments.
The detergent should be poured into the relevant
compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the
drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will
not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

• Shake out the garments before loading them into the
machine.
• Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the
washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you
separate the coloured garments from the white ones;
• Empty all 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
1 pillowcase
1 tablecloth
1 bathrobe
1 towel
1 pair of jeans
1 shirt

Steam Refresh: This programme refreshes garments by
removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres (2 kg, roughly
3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select
programme " ". The garments will be damp once the cycle
is completed, so we recommend hanging them to dry. The "
" programme makes ironing easier.
Moreover, with the "Steam Perfume" laundry balls, your
favourite perfume can be added to your laundry. Place a
few drops of perfume on the sponge contained inside the
laundry ball, close it and insert it into the drum together with
the laundry. Then launch the specific programme "

avoid it dripping.
! Do not add softeners or detergents.
Anti Allergy Plus : cycle studied for cotton laundry and
other resistant fabrics to guarantee the removal of the main
allergens such as pollen, mites, cat and dog hair.
Ultradelicates: use programme
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.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 160 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
To wash Silk garments and Curtains select cycle
option ; the machine will end the cycle while the laundry
is soaking and the indicator light will flash. To drain the
water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button or the button.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The
Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments labelled
as "hand wash" provided that the garments are washed
according to the instructions issued by the manufacturer of this
washing machine. Follow the garment care label for drying and
other laundry instructions. (M1135)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with
solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with
pre-wash cycle.

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 Washer-
dryer 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.
