FLUFF IN THE FABRICS
During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool, sweat-
shirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics
during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical
fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we rec-
ommend that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured fabrics
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt ) and the
contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air
when they are washed the first time.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

THE LAUNDRY LOAD
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on
the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured
items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with
the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool
and items with painted illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil
stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the
hooks or put the curtains in a washing
bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small
items.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this oc-
curs, adjust manually the items in the tub
and start the spin phase again.

For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty
drum, the gasket and the door with a wet

We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the appli-
ance.

to the type of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
• Only use detergents and additives spe-
cially made for washing machines.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of deter-
gent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the
on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and
colour of the fabric, the programme tem-
perature and the level of soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent
dispenser with the flap device, add the
liquid detergents with a dosing ball.
WATER HARDNESS
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a
water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it is
not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the products.
