NOTE!
The different type of cottons (towelling,sheets, shirts and so on) or eventual laundry rolling up
during spinning phase may cause a not uniform dryness. So, in the exceptional case that at the
end of the cycle the laundry remains slightly wet, we suggest you to stretch the items rolled up
out, to redistribute evenly the laundry in the drum and to select an additional drying cycle of 20-
30 minutes.

Wool and
Handwash
Washing programme for machine washable wool as well as for hand
washable woollens and delicate fabrics with the «hand washing»
care symbol .

cotton items. The temperature will decrease and the washing time
will be extended. This allows you to obtain a good washing
efficiency whilst saving energy.
Silk
Delicate washing programme suitable for silk and mixed synthetics
items. Washing temperature is 30°C.
The maximum spin speed is automatically reduced to 700 rpm.

14
Washing and drying hints
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each
garment label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites,
coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the
wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately
the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts
or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
fluffy items such as towels as these can attract
the fluff.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has
finished drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is com-
pleted, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal
inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such
as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags
and duvets must not be machine dried.
Garments padded with foam-rubber or materi-
als similar to foam-rubber must not be machine
dried; they represent a fire hazard.
Also, fabrics containing residues of setting
lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar
solutions must not be machine dried in order to
avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturer’s labels.
May be tumble dried
Drying at high temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Do not tumble dry
IMPORTANT!
As a dryer, the machine works on the
condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and
the drain hose must drain water into a sink
or into the drain pipe, even during the dry-
ing cycle.
90° or 95°
for normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
50°/60°
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.
underwear).
30°-40°-Cold
for delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry including
synthetic fibres and woollens
bearing the label «pure new wool,
machine washable, non-shrink».

Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more
than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load
size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and
water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a
rust removing product used cold. Be careful
with rust stains which are not recent since the
cellulose structure will have already been
damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove
any residual marks from white fabrics with
bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic
acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics
with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the
environment. Although biodegradable,
detergents contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate balance of
nature.
15

16
The choice of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,
etc.), the colour, washing temperature and
degree of soiling.
All commonly available washer-dryer
detergents may be used in this appliance:
●powder detergents for all types of fabric,
●powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens,
●liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for woollens
only.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash
programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid
detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
The washer-dryer incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting
the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must
be poured into the compartment marked
before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the
detergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of
soiling and hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
«degrees» of hardness. Information on
hardness of the water in your area can be
obtained from the relevant water supply
company.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Degrees of water hardness
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
●you are washing a small load,
●the laundry is lightly soiled,
●large amounts of foam form during washing.

material from the drum.
IMPORTANT!
Pour 2 litres of water into the main wash
compartment of the detergent drawer in
order to activate the ECO valve. Then run a
cotton cycle at 90°C or 95°C, without any
laundry in the machine, to remove any
manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.
Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the
dispenser drawer and start the machine.
