	Successful washing results also depend on the correct
	dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not
	necessarily 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; they create too
	much foam.

Wool: wash cycle 7 can be used to wash all woollen garments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand

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 dispenser drawer.

Compartment A: Washing detergent (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.

Compartment B: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment C: we recommend this compartment is used for liquid detergent.

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. 8 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 2 kg

Silk: max. 2 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10): is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin 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 washer-dryer 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.

Special wash cycles

Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 5.

Shirts: use special wash cycle 6 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours.

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases.
