Detergents and laundry

Detergent

EN
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 pillowcase

and relaxing the fibres (1.5 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 "
makes ironing easier.

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 "

Shirts: use the special "Shirts"
in different fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the
best possible care.
Jeans: use the special "Jeans"
garments; turn inside out before washing and use a liquid
detergent.
Baby: use the special "Baby"
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. At
the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the
drum; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
Silk: use the special "Silk"
garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which
has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: use the "Silk"
folded and placed inside the bag provided.
Wool: is the only washing machine brand 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. The "Wool" wash cycle can be used to
wash all woollen garments in the washing machine while
guaranteeing optimum performance.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which
should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with
goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special "Duvets"
wash cycle. We recommend that duvets are placed in
the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and
that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid
detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser
drawer.
".

provided and set the wash cycle to "Duvets"
