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.

removed.
Compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
!
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fa-
brics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics
and for wool.
This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn
stains. Place extra compartment 4 (supplied) into
compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful
not to exceed the "max" level marked on the central pivot
(see figure). To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour
the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the "Rinse"
programme and activate the "Stain removal"
bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any
fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash cycle
and enable the "Stain removal"
compartment 4 excludes the "Prewash".

Garments requiring special care
Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 6.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken
of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.
Mix-Cool 30': this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash
cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for
wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum
load of 3 kg.
Wool: wash cycle 9 can be used to wash all woollen gar-
ments in the machine, even those carrying the "hand wash
only" label. To achieve the best results, use a special
detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2 kg.
Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments.
We recommend the use of special detergent which has
been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight
of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special wash cycle number 11 "Duvets". 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.
Outwear (wash cycle 12): is studied for washing water-re-
pellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester,
nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage
suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if
necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing
softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this
programme.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 13): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
