Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of de-
tergent: 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.

Compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to
the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

!
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and
delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.
This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn
stains. Place extra compartment 4 (supplied) into compartment
1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed
the "max" level marked on the central pivot (see figure). To
run the bleach cycle on its own, pour the bleach into extra
compartment 4, set the "Rinse"
"Stain removal" option. To bleach during a wash cycle, pour
in the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the
desired wash cycle and enable the "Stain removal"
The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the "Prewash".

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 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Open the detergent dispenser
drawer and pour in the detergent
or washing additive, as follows.
Compartment 1: Pre-wash
detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent,
make sure that extra compart-
ment 4 has been removed.
programme and activate the
option.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various fabrics
and colours. It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments
and minimises the formation of creases.
Mix-Cool 30': this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soi-
led garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves
both energy and time. By selecting wash cycle 8, it is possible
to wash different fabrics (except for wool and silk items) using a
cold cycle, up to a maximum load of 3 kg.
Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 9) ideal for heavily 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.
Wool: the wool wash cycle 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 washing machine. (M1127)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Silk: use special wash cycle 11 to wash all silk gar-
ments. We recommend the use of special deter-
gent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place them
in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 11.
Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which
should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose
down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number
12 "Duvets". 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.
Outwear (wash cycle 13): is studied for washing water-
repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester,
nylon); for best results, use a liquid detergent and dosage
suitable for a half-load; pre-treat necks, cuffs and stains if ne-
cessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softe-
ners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this programme.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 14): is for washing sports shoes; for
best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.
