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.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-
washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too
much foam.

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 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 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if
there are obstinate stains.
Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.

Open the detergent
A
dispenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
!
Do not pour detergent into
the middle compartment (*).
Detergent should only be
poured into the compartment 1.
Anti Allergy Plus: use programme 6 to remove major
allergens such as pollen, mites, cat's and dog's hair.
Baby: use the special wash cycle 7 to remove the soiling
typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of
detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate
skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The cycle
has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by
using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect
of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.
Bed & Bath: use programme 8 to wash bed linen
and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener
performance and helps you save time and energy. We
recommend the use of powder detergent.
Cotton Standard 20°C: use this cycle 11 for lightly soiled
cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved
at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing
at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which
operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent
peaks.
Shirts: use the special 12 wash cycle to wash shirts in
different fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the
best possible care.
Wool: 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
products are washed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
washing machine (M1135)
Delicates: use programme 14 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.

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 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.
