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

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior
to the start of the wash cycle.

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach
Extra compartment 5: we recommend this compartment
is used for liquid detergent.

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

Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 5) ideal 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.
Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 7.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 8 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 9, 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: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been
tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the
washing of wool containing garments labelled as "hand
wash" provided that the garments are washed according
to the instructions on the garment label and those issued
by the manufacturer of this washing machine. (M1128)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Silk: use special wash cycle 11 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 11.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 12): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously
Paint Cottons: this cycle (13) can be used to dye cotton
fabrics. Place the additives directly in the drum (following
the instructions provided on the packaging) and the
detergent in compartment 2. If using liquid detergent,
insert extra compartment 5 into compartment 2 (see
figure). Once the dyeing phase is complete, the washing
machine will perform a normal 40°C wash cycle, in order to
remove any residual dye.
Paint Wool: this cycle (14) can be used to dye woollen
fabrics. Place the additives directly in the drum (following
the instructions provided on the packaging) and the
detergent in compartment 2. If using liquid detergent,
insert extra compartment 5 into compartment 2 (see
figure). The dyeing phase is performed at 90°, so that the
colour is fixed properly. The wash cycle was, nevertheless,
specifically designed so as not to damage clothing. After
the dyeing phase, the washing machine will perform a
normal 40°C wash cycle, in order to remove any residual
dye.
