delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts,
tights, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

Empty pockets and unfold the items.
STUBBORN STAINS
For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains
before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the type
of stain and fabric.
Do not spray stain remover on garments near the
appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic parts.
DETERGENT TYPE AND QUANTITY
The choice of detergent and use of correct
quantities not only affects your wash performance,
but also helps to avoid waste and protect the
environment:

•
Use only detergents and other treatments
specially made for washing machines. First,
follow these generic rules:
– powder detergents (also tablets and single-
dose detergents) for all types of fabric,
excluding delicate. Prefer powder
detergents containing bleach for whites and
laundry sanitization,
– liquid detergents (also single-dose
detergents) , preferably for low temperature
wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types
of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.
•
The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on: type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the
load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and
hardness of the water used.
•
Follow the instructions that you find on
packaging of the detergents or other treatments
without exceeding the indicated maximum level
(
).
•
Do not mix different types of detergents.
•
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam during
washing.
•
When using detergent tabs or pods, always put
them inside the drum, not in the detergent
dispenser and follow the manufacturer's
recommendations .
Insufficient detergent may cause:
•
unsatisfactory washing results,
•
the wash load to turn grey,
•
greasy clothes,
•
mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause:
•
sudsing,
•
reduced washing effect,
•
inadequate rinsing,
•
a greater impact for the environment.
ECOLOGICAL HINTS
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:
•
Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewash in order to save detergent,
water and time (the environment is protected
too!).
•
Loading the appliance to the maximum
capacity indicated for each programmes
helps to reduce energy and water
consumption.
