Anti allergy: use programme 6 to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Baby: use the special wash cycle 7 to remove the soiling
typically caused by babies, while removing all traces of
detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate
skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. 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.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved
by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool
garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the
products are washed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
washing machine.(M1128)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Delicates: use programme 9 to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 9 and
set the “Delicate” level from option .
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.
Eco cycles
The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the
need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your
energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco
programmes (Eco Cottons 12, Eco Synthetics 13 and Eco
Fast 30’ 14) are available for various fabrics and different
quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee
a high cleaning action even at low temperature and can be
used for lightly to medium soiled loads. Eco Cycles give
the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water
optimization and are carried out in the same average time
of a standard cycle. For the best washing results with Eco
Cycles we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
Cotton Standard 20° 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.
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 washing machine 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.
Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
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.
! 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; they create too
much foam.
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
compartment 1: Pre-
wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the
detergent, make sure that
extra compartment 4 has
been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(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 should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach

Special wash cycles
Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if
there are obstinate stains.
Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.
