MARGHERITA
Margherita - Instructions for installation and use
You must follow the dosage
recommendations provided by
the manufacturers when adding
detergent or fabric conditioner.
Doses will vary according to the
wash load, the water hardness and
how soiled the washing is.
Experience will help you select
the right dosage almost
automatically: it will become
your secret.
Before adding detergent for pre-
washing in compartment 1, make
sure that the extra compartment
for bleach 4 has not been inserted.
Ensure no overfilling when adding
fabric conditioner in compart-
ment 3.
The washing machine automa-
tically adds the softener to the
wash in each programme.
Liquid detergent is poured into
compartment 2 just a few
seconds before starting the wash
cycle.
In compartment 1:
Detergent for pre-washing (powder)
In compartment 2:
Detergent for washing
(powder or liquid)
In compartment 3:
Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
In compartment 4:
Bleach and delicate bleach.
Useful tips about the detergent dispenserIts important for a good wash
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent
dispenser is opened by rotating it outwards.
Remember that liquid detergent
is only designed for wash cycles
of up to 60 degrees on non pre-
wash items.
Special containers are sold with
liquid or powder detergents for
placing inside the washing
machine drum, these are
positioned according to the
instructions found in the
detergent box
Never use hand wash detergent,
because it may form too much
foam, which could damage the
washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated for both hand and
machine wash are an exception.
One last secret: when washing
with cold water, always reduce
the amount of detergent you use:
it dissolves less easily in cold
water than in hot water, so part
of it would be wasted.
Cutting costs efficiently
A guide to
environmentally
friendly and economic
use of your appliance.
MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?
For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by
NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?
Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before
washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.
SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME ...
SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying programme.
Bleach cycle
If bleaching is necessary, the ex-
tra case 4 (provided) must be
inserted into compartment 1 of
the detergent dispenser.
When pouring in the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the "max"
level indicated o n the central
pivot (see illustration).
The use of the additional bleach
container excludes the
possibility of using the pre-wash
cycle. Traditional bleach can
only be used on sturdy white
fabrics, whereas delicate
bleach can be used for
coloured fabrics, synthetics
and for wool.
You cannot bleach with the 11
Silk programme and with the
special programmes (see page 4).
Should you wish to bleach
separately, pour the bleach into
extra compartment 4, set the
rinse programme for cotton
fabrics or the light rinse
programme for synthetics.
When bleaching during a
normal wash cycle, pour in the
detergent and additives into the
special compartments (see table
on page 4), set the desired
programme and select the stain
removal option.
The detergent dispenser can be
removed and cleaned: just lift it up
and pull it outwards ,as indicated in
the figure. Then leave it under running
water for a few minutes.
