Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't
necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may
in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance
and even pollute the environment.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and fabric
softener, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
It is recommended that you place liquid detergent
directly into the compartment using the appropriate
dosing cup.
compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment
3
, avoid
exceeding the "max" level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine
during the last wash. At the end of the wash
programme, some water will be left in compartment
3
. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners
into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated
softeners. Should more than a normal amount of
water remain in compartment
3
, this means the
emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions,
see
Care and maintenance
.
compartment 4: Bleach
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. 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1 kg
Silk: max. 1 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 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Mix 30:
this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes
and therefore saves both energy and time. By
selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
Mix 15:
this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes
and therefore saves both energy and time. By
selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Baby cycle:
this wash cycle can be used to remove
the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring
that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to
prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering
allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce
the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of
water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting
additives added to the detergent.
Silk:
use special wash cycle to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
Curtains:
fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle .
Wool:
is the only washing machine manufacturer to
have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark
Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the
Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen
garments may be washed in the washing machine,
even those which state hand wash only
on the
label. Wash cycle therefore offers complete peace
of mind when washing woollen garments in the
washing machine (max. load 1 kg) and guarantees
optimal performance.
