Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
GB 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 contri- bute 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. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the deter-

!Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1. Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2. Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or liquid) If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage. If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.
Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pin.
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.
How much does your laundry weigh? 1 sheet
1 pillow case
1 tablecloth
1 bathrobe
1 towel
Garments requiring special care
Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a
Dark: use cycle 2 to wash
Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments. For washing Silk items and Curtains,
select the relevant cycle and activate the option 
(in this case it will also be possible to enable the “Extra Rinse” option); the machine will end the cycle with the laundry soaked and the indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry can be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button ro the option 
.
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool containing garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. (M1127)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.
Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3,5kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 6. 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 recom- mend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.
Coloured: use this cycle 11 to wash bright coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time.
Cotton Standard 20° (programme 12) 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.
20’ Refresh 20° (programme 13) 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. 60’ Cotton (programme 14) is designed to wash moderately soiled resistant cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good washing performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.
