Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

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.

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.

Special wash cycles

Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled
sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we
recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated
in the "Table of wash cycles". We recommend using liquid
detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.
Dark: use programme 2 to wash dark-coloured garments.
This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over
time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best
results when washing dark-coloured garments.
Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments
with bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The
programme is designed to remove bad odours while
preserving the fabric fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed
loads should be washed at 40°, and resistant cotton
fabrics at 60°.
Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate
garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out
before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent
on delicate garments.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:
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.
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight
of which should not exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special wash programme number 6. 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.
Coloured: use this programme 11 to wash bright
coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain
bright colours over time.
