closed in the drum.
Turn the device clockwise, until the groove is
horizontal.
You cannot close the door.

Hints and tips
The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the laundry
care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the
first wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first couple of times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty pockets and unfold.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with
printed illustrations inside out.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks or
put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with
cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts,
tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems
with the spin phase leading to excessive
vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and open the
door (refer to "Opening the door when a
programme or the delay start operates");
b. manually redistribute the load so that the
items are spaced evenly around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button. The spin
phase continues.
Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains
before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the
type of stain and fabric.
Detergents and other
treatments
• Only use detergents and other treatments
specially made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40
°C max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60 °C
max) for all types of fabric, or special ones
for woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than
the recommended quantity of detergent.
• Follow the instructions that you find on the on
packaging of these products.
• Use the recommended products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the programme
temperature and the level of soil.
Ecological hints
• Set a programme without the prewash phase to
wash laundry with normal soil.
• Always start a washing programme with the
maximum load of laundry allowed.
• If necessary, use a stain remover when you set
a programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, check
the water hardness of your domestic system.
Refer to "Water hardness".
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a water
