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 in-
side 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.

1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the "max" level indicated

! Traditional bleach should be used on resistant white fabrics, and
delicate bleach for coloured and synthetics fabrics and for wool.

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

Garments requiring special care

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 "Programme
table". We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the
amount suitable for a half-load.
Dark: use cycle 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This pro-
gramme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We
recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when
washing dark-coloured garments.

Open the detergent dispenser
drawer and pour in the detergent
or washing additive, as follows.
A
Compartment 1: Pre-wash
detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent,
make sure that extra compart-
ment 4 has been removed.
Compartment 2: Washing
detergent (powder or liquid)
.
Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with bad
odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme is de-
signed 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.
For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the relevant cycle 4
and activate the option ; the machine will end the cycle with
the laundry soaked and the indicator light will flash. To drain the
water so that the laundry can be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button or the option
Wool: 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. (M1127)
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 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with
goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle
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 cycle 11 to wash bright coloured clothes. The
programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time.
Cotton Standard 20°C (programme 12) ideal for
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.
20' Refresh (programme 13) ideal for refreshing and
washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts
just 20 minutes and therefore saves both time and energy.
It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together
(except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Rapid 60' (programme 14) is designed to wash moderately
soiled resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good
washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we
recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.
