Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa- rily 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.
Garments requiring special care
Jeans: Turn garments
Silk: use special wash cycle 12 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 12.

Open the detergent di- spenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.
compartment 1: Deter- gent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of wash cycle.
awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washer, even those which state “hand wash only” 
on the label. Wash cycle 13 therefore offers complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the washer (max. load 3.30 lb - 1,5 kg) and guaran- tees 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
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 3: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycles 6. Pour the bleach into extra compartment 3; pour the detergent and softener into the corresponding com- partments, then select one of the abovementioned wash cycles.
This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton garments.
At the end of the cycle, there may be water standing in the Bleach or other compartments. This is NORMAL. The Bleach compartment can be removed when not in use.
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. 15 lb - (7 kg)
Synthetic fabrics: max. 6.6 lb - (3 kg)
Delicate fabrics: max. 4.4 lb - (2 kg)
Wool: max. 3.30 lb - (1,5 kg)

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- 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.
Helpful Hints
Your washer features three different speeds during the wash cycle. During the Cotton cycle the drum spins at 1,200 or 800 rpm. During Permanent Press the drum spins at 850 rpm.
During delicates, the drum spins at 500 rpm.
Use HE Liquid Fabric Softener. Fill the softener compartment up to the level marked. Using fabric softner fluffs out clothes immediately after the wash cycle. This helps speed drying
time and reduce wrinkles.
Use Low sudsing Detergent. This is recommended for all front loading washers. It ensures there is no over sudsing, which may reduce the performance of your machine.
We recommend using Splendide
When sorting laundry always take into consideration the quantity and type of fabric contained in the load. Highly absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans will abosorb more water and become very heavy when saturated. If you notice that your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry may be overloading the machine, or washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load.
