Ariston ADS9D 297 Detergents and laundry

Shirts: use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in

different fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the

best possible care.

Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of

which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes

padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the

special wash cycle. 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 dispenser drawer.

Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the

bag provided and set the wash cycle to .

Bedlinen and towels: Use programme to wash bed

linen and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener

performance and helps you save time and energy. We

recommend the use of powder detergent

Anti Allergy: use programme to remove major allergens

such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Ultradelicates: use programme to wash very delicate

garments having strasses or sequins.

We recommend turning the garments inside out before

washing and placing small items into the special bag

for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate

garments for best results.

To wash Silk garments and Curtains (these should be folded

and placed inside the bag provided), select cycle and then

option (in this case it will also be possible to enable the

“Extra Rinse” option); the machine will end the cycle while

the laundry is soaking and the indicator light will flash.

To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed,

press the START/PAUSE button or the button.

Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Ariston machine has

been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company

for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable

provided that the garments are washed according to

the instructions on the garment label and those issued

by the manufacturer of this washing machine. Ariston is

the first washing machine brand to be approved by The

Woolmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its

washing performance and consumption of energy and

water. (M1127)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark

is a Certification trade mark.

Cotton Standard 20°C: 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.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent

The type and quantity of detergent required depend on the

type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.), as

well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of soiling

and the hardness of the water in the area.

Whenever the detergent and fabric softener “Auto Dose

System” is activated, this washing machine helps to

prevent wastage and to protect the environment, besides

guaranteeing optimal washing performance.

We recommend the following:

• Use powder detergent for carrying out a pre-wash and

pour in the “traditional” mode.

• Use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and for

all low-temperature wash cycles.

• When activating the “Auto Dose System” mode, use liquid

detergent and fabric softeners only. Never add ultra-

concentrated detergents (e.g. “Gel” type detergents

or similar).

• Use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments

and pour in the “traditional” mode.

! Never mix two different detergents; always clean out the

tank before adding a new type of detergent.

The detergent should be poured into the relevant compartment

- or the dispenser placed directly inside the drum - before the

wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will not be possible

to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.

! 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.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

• Shake out the garments before loading them into the

machine.

• Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the

washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you

separate the coloured garments from the white ones;

• Empty all 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.
