Load the laundry
Open the door by carefully pulling the door
handle outwards.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
program charts. General rules:
Place the laundry in
the drum, one item at
a time, shaking them
out as much as
possible. Close the
door.
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no
more than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.For heavily
soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Detergents and additives

choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the
environment. Although biodegradable,
detergents contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate balance of
nature.

of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of
soiling.

°C max) and woollens,
liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash program (60 °C max) for
all types of fabric, or special for woollens
only.

placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash
program.

detergents, a program without prewash must
be selected.
