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.
!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.
necessary; do not use softeners or detergents containing softeners. Stuffed duvets cannot be washed with this pro- gramme.
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme

label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1 kg of laundry.
Jeans: Turn garments
Sport Intensive (programma 12): is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Programme table”.
Sport Light (programma 13): is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load

The 20° wash cycles (Zone 20°) offer effective washing performance at low temperatures, reducing electricity usage and expenditure while benefitting the environment. The 20° wash cycles meet all requirements:
Cotton Standard (programme 6) ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved
!Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1. Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2. compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
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.

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.
Mix Light (programme 7) ideal for mixed loads (cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, across set average intervals.
20’ Refresh (programme 8) 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.
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 washing ma- chine 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.
Garments requiring special care
Outwear (wash cycle 9): is studied for washing water- repellent fabrics and winter jackets (e.g.
