Detergents and laundry
Detergent
EN
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on
the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.),
as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of
soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage
and help to protect the environment: although they are
biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which
alter the balance of nature.
We recommend the following:
• use powder detergents for white cotton garments and
pre-washing.
• use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and
for all low-temperature wash cycles.
• use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments.
The detergent should be poured into the relevant
compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the
drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it
will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash
cycle.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Preparing the laundry
• Shake out the garments before loading them into the
machine.
• Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the
washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you
separate the coloured garments from the white ones;
• Empty all 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 pair of jeans
1 shirt
Washing recommendations
Shirts: use the special "Shirts"
shirts in different fabrics and colours to guarantee they
receive the best possible care.
Jeans: use the special "Jeans"
garments; turn inside out before washing and use a liquid
detergent.
Baby: use the special "Baby"
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.
At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly
rotate the drum; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE
button.

Silk: use the special "Silk"
garments. We recommend the use of special detergent
which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: use the "Silk"
folded and placed inside the bag provided.
Wool: is the only washing machine brand 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
washing machine, even those which state "hand wash
only"
on the label. The "Wool" wash cycle can be used
to wash all woollen garments in the washing machine while
guaranteeing optimum performance.
Duvets: 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 "Duvets"
wash cycle. 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.
Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the
bag provided and set the wash cycle to "Duvets"
Bedlinen and towels: use the "Bed & Bath"
wash laundry from all over the house; this optimises fabric
softener performance and helps you save time and energy.
We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with
solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with
pre-wash cycle.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin 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 machine 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.
