essential to follow some basic rules:

WEEE should not be treated as household
waste;

WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality or
by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one
-to-
one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as

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.
Dosing the detergent
Useful advice for saving
Load tips

10
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.
For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.
For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommen
d the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
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.
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.

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.
To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is
not possible to increase the speed
over the maximum allowed for the
programme.

18
- EXTRA RINSE
This option allows you to add one rinse at
the end of the washing cycle and is useful
for people with delicate and sensitive
skin, for which a small amount of
detergent residue can cause irritations or
allergies.
It is advisable to also use this function for
the children clothes and for the washing
of heavily soiled items, which requires a
lot of detergent to be used, or for the
washing of toweling items whose fibres
mostly have the tendency to hold the
detergent.
- STEAM
By this option you can add a specific
steam treatment to some washing cycles
(see programme table).
The steam function relaxes the folds and
makes ironing times shorter.

SOME MODELS are provided with the
automatic dosage, that carries out a precise
dosage of detergent and softener, up to 20
washing cycles*, providing a perfect
cleaning of your garments. This way water
and energy wastes are reduced, as the right
detergent and softener quantities are
perfectly to the milligram dosed, according
to the type of garment, to the weight of the
clothes and to the water hardness.
*Estimate based on a medium load and a low water
hardness level.
The drawer is divided into three
compartment, as indicated in the figure:
A= for LIQUID washing detergent
B= for softener
C =NO AUTOMATIC DOSING: for powder
detergent or liquid detergent with the
