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
contribute to environmental pollution.
! 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.
! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too
much foam.

Special wash cycles
Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class
that is higher than the standard class (A class).
When running the programme, do not mix garments of
different colours. We recommend the use of powder
detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is
recommended if there are obstinate stains.
Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.
Anti allergy: use programme 7 to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat's and dog's hair.
Baby: use the special wash cycle 8 to remove the remove
the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all
traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the
delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The
cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria
by using a greater quantity of water and optimising
the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the
detergent.
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Ariston machine has
been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company
for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable
provided that the garments are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. Ariston is the first
washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark
Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing
performance and consumption of energy and water.

Delicates: use programme 10 to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 10
and set the "Delicate" level from option
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate
garments for best results.
