Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make
for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on
the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.
!
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 1: Detergent for pre-wash
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into
the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.
compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid excee-
ding the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine during
the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some
water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet
of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the
more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal
amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the
emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see
"Care and maintenance".
compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash
cycles 2, 3, 6.
Pour the bleach into compartment 4; pour the detergent and
softener into the corresponding compartments, then select
one of the abovementioned wash cycles.
This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton
garments.

Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in the
detergent and fabric softe-
ner, as follows.

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 listed values, which refer to the weight
of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1 kg
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

Garments requiring special care

Shirts: use special wash cycle 8 to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours.
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and
minimises the formation of creases.
Silk: use special wash cycle 9 to wash all silk garments. We
recommend the use of special detergent which has been
designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Use wash cycle 9.
Wool: is the only washing machine manufacturer to have
been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care
endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which
means that all woollen garments may be washed in the wa-
shing machine, even those which state "hand wash only"
on the label. Wash cycle 10 therefore offers complete peace
of mind when washing woollen garments in the washing ma-
chine (max. load 1 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is
not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin
speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing ma-
chine performs the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we
recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
