Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
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.
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.
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 cycle 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.
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. For washing Silk items and Curtains,
select the relevant cycle and activate the option (in
this case it will also be possible to enable the “Extra Rinse”
option); the machine will end the cycle with the laundry
soaked and the indicator light will flash. To drain the water
so that the laundry can be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button ro the option .
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. (M1126)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Duvet: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should
not exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose
down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle
number 6. 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 dispen-
ser drawer.
Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured
clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright
colours over time.
Cotton Standard 20° (programme 12) 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.
20’ Refresh (programme 13) ideal for refreshing and
washing lightly soiled garments in a few minutes. It lasts
just 20 minutes and therefore saves both time and energy.
It can be used to wash different types of fabrics together
(except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Rapid 60’ (programme 14) is designed to wash moderately
soiled resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good
washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we
recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.
