| detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa- | |

| ! Do not use hand washing detergents because these | |
| create too much foam. |
Wool: wash cycle 7 can be used to wash all woollen gar- ments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand wash
only” 
label. To achieve the best results, use a special detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2 kg. Delicates: use special wash cycle 8 to wash all silk gar- ments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 8.

Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 9 “Duvet”. 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.

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
