4. PRACTICAL HINTS
When sorting laundry, make sure:
- have eliminated metallic objects such as
hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed
zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;
- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips
from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing
labels;
- to have removed any persistent stains
using specific detergents.
!When washing rugs, bedcovers or other
heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid
the spinning cycle.
!To wash wool, make sure the item can be
machine washed. Check the fabric label.
!Leave the appliance’s door slightly open
between washes, to prevent possible bad
smells developing inside the machine.
Tips on how to save money and not
damage the environment when using your
appliance.
!Load the machine to the highest capacity
shown in the programme table for each
programme - this will allow you to SAVE
energy and water.
!Noise and residual laundry moisture are
affected by spin speed: a faster spin is
associated with greater noise and lower
residual moisture in the laundry.
!The most efficient programmes in terms
of combined use of water and energy are
usually the longer-lasting ones with lower
temperature.
Maximise the load size
!Achieve the best use of energy, water,
detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full
load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?
!For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normally soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required?
!Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak
dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash
programme. Save energy by using a low
temperature wash programme.
Before using a drying programme
(WASHER-DRYERS)
!SAVE energy and time by selecting a
high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying
programme.
Below is a short guide with tips and advice
on the use of detergent.
!Only use detergents suitable for machine
washing.
!Select your detergent according to the
type of fabric (cotton, delicates,
synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the
type and level of soiling and the
programmed washing temperature.
!To use the right amount of detergent,
softener or any other additives, carefully
follow the manufacturer’s instructions
every time: correctly using the
appliance with the right dose allows
you to avoid waste and to reduce the
environmental impact.
Load tips
Useful advice for saving
Dosing the detergent

!
EN
13
!Too much detergent leads to excessive
foam, which prevents the cycle being
carried out correctly. It could also affect
the quality of the washing and rinsing.
The use of ecological detergents without
phosphates may cause the following
effects:
- cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is
tied to the suspended zeolites which do
not have negative effects on rinse
efficiency.
- white powder (zeolites) on laundry at
the end of the wash: this is normal, the
powder is not absorbed by fabric and does
not change its colour.
To remove the zeolites, select a rinse
programme. In the future consider using
slightly less detergent.
- foam in the water at last rinse: this does
not necessary indicate poor rinsing.
Consider using less detergent in future
washes.
- abundant foam: This is often due to the
anionic surfactants found in the detergents
which are hard to eliminate from laundry.
In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate
these effects: it will not help at all.
We suggest conducting a maintenance
wash using a proprietary cleaner.
If the problem persists or if you suspect a
malfunction, immediately contact an
Authorised Customer Service Centre.
When washing heavily soiled whites,
we recommend using cotton programs of
60°C or above and a normal washing
powder (heavy duty) that contains
bleaching agents that at medium/high
temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and
level of soiling. Normal powders are
suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics
with high soiling, while liquid detergents
or “colour protecting” powders are
suitable for coloured fabrics with light
levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.

To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is
not possible to increase the speed
over the maximum allowed for the
programme.
An over dosing of detergent can
cause excessive foaming. If the
appliance detects the presence of
excessive foam, it may exclude the
spinning phase or extend the duration
of the program and increase water
consumption.
The machine is fitted with a special
electronic device, which prevents the
spin cycle should the load be
unbalanced. This reduces the noise
and vibration in the machine and so
prolongs the life of your machine.
