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 contri-
bute 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.
Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or liquid)
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the remo-
vable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage.
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.
Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener must not exceed the "max" level indica-
ted on the central pin.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into com-
partment 1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the
"max" level indicated on the central pin.
Perform bleaching by pouring the bleach into additional
compartment 4 and set the programme
! 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 "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.

Open the detergent dispen-
ser drawer and pour in the
detergent or washing additi-
ve, as follows.
Compartment 1: Pre-wa-
sh detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the deter-
gent, make sure that extra
compartment 4 has been
removed.
.
When you select the drying function, at the end of the
washing cycle the machine will automatically perform a
delicate drying cycle that preserves the colours of the
garments. The display will show the level "
Max. load: 3 kg.
Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with
bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The program-
me 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.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
Wool: the wool wash programme 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 washer-dryer.

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Rapid 30' (programme 6) this programme is designed to
wash lightly soiled garments at 30° (excluding wool and
silk) with a 3 kg maximum load in a short time: it only lasts
30 minutes and allows for saving time and energy
Coloured: use this programme 10 to wash bright colou-
red clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright
colours over time.
Eco Cotton 20° (programme 11) 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.
Eco Synthetic (programme 12) ideal for mixed loads
(cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The
effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures
are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at
varying speed, across set average intervals.
Wash&Dry 45' select programme 13 for washing and
drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in
a short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a
laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes. To achieve
optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs,
collars and stains.
AirFresh (programme 14) ideal cycle to refresh garments
and remove bad odours, in particular smoke, from cotton
and synthetic items in 30' (max 1.5kg) without the washing
phase.
