Note!
The different type of cottons (towelling,
sheets, shirts, and so on) or any laundry
items rolling up during the spinning
phase may result in partial dryness.
In the exceptional case that at the end of
the cycle the laundry remains slightly
wet, we suggest that you unfold the rol-
led up items, redistribute them evenly in
the drum and select an additional drying
cycle of 20-30 minutes.

lector dial to the required washing
programme/fabric.

long a drying time therefore sav-
ing energy. In any case the low-
est values you can select are 900
r.p.m. for cottons and synthetics
and 700 r.p.m. for delicate fab-
rics. The reduction of the spin

10.3 Fluff in the garments
During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING
PHASE, certain types of fabric, as
sponge-cloth, wool, sweatshirt, could re-
lease fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fab-
rics during the next cycle.
This drawback increases with technical
fabrics.
To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is
recommended:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light colored fabrics
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt espe-
cially) and vice versa.
• To air-dry this type of fabrics when
they are washed the first time.
• To clean the filter.
• Perform one or more rinse cycles to
wash the drum between the washing
and drying of fabrics with different col-
ors.
• After the drying phase, thoroughly
clean the empty drum, the gasket and
the door with a wet rag.

11. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
11.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are
on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and col-
oured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted illustra-
tions.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small
items.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase again.
11.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applica-
ble to the type of stain and fabric.
11.3 Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines.
• Do not mix different types of deter-
gents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of de-
tergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the pro-
gramme temperature and the level of
soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the deter-
gent dispenser with the flap device,
add the liquid detergents with a dos-
ing ball.
11.4 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing ma-
chines. In areas where the water hard-
ness is soft it is not necessary to use a
water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:
• German degrees (°dH).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-
national unit for the hardness of wa-
ter).
• Clarke degrees.
