3.1 Load tips
When sorting laundry, make sure:
- have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
- to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.
 When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the
spinning cycle.
 To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.
 Leave the appliance's door slightly open between washes, to prevent possible bad
smells developing inside the machine.
3.2 Useful advice for saving
Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.
 Load the machine with suggested capacity shown in the programme table for each
programme - this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
 Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is
associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
 The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are
usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.
 Scan QR code on energy label for energy consumption information. The actual energy
consumption may differ from the declared one according to local conditions.
Maximise the load size
 Achieve the best use of energy,water,detergent and time by using the recommended
mximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?
 For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash
for slight to normally soiled laundry.

reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.Save energy by using a low temper-
ature wash programme.
