Detergent dispenser drawer
Good 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 a
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 because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
For best results liquid detergent should be poured in the
dispenser immediately before the start of the programme.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
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: see “Table of wash
cycles”.
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
Anti Stain : this programme 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.

Detergents and laundry
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if
there are obstinate stains.
Standard Cotton 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.
Anti Allergy: use programme to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Wool: 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 (M1126)
Delicates: use programme to wash very delicate
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and
sequins.
For washing Silk items and Curtains, select the relevant
cycle and activate the option “Reduced Creases” (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 or the option “Reduced Creases”.
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.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 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.
