Detergents and laundry

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.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

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:
Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg
Silk: max. 1 kg
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

Open the detergent di-
A
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.

Garments requiring special care

Wool: is the only washing machine manufacturer to
have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum
Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company,
which means that all woollen garments may be washed
in the washing machine, even those which state "hand
wash only"
on the label. Wash cycle 9 therefore offers
complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments
in the washing machine (max. load 1,5 kg) and guarantees
optimal performance.
Delicates: use programme 10 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 10 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.

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
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.
