Good 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.

Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 6.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.

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. 7 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1,5 kg

Silk: max. 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1sheet 400-500 g

1pillow case 150-200 g

1tablecloth 400-500 g

1bathrobe 900-1200 g

1towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 5, even those carrying the "hand-wash

only" label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry. Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Express Wash & Dry (wash cycle 13) was designed to wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 0.5 kg in just 40 minutes.

To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.

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 Washer-dryer 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.
