CONSUMPTION VALUES
Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant standards. Different cau-
ses can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry and ambient temperature. Wa-
ter pressure, the supply voltage and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the
washing programme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve the quality of
product.
At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme duration for the maxi-
mum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can be
greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton
60°C, maximum load capacity 7 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load
1 kg, the programme duration will be less than 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot flashes in the dis-
play.

putting items in drum
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks
and 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. If this occurs, adjust
manually the items in the tub and start the spin
phase again.
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 ADDITIVES
• Only use detergents and additives 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 for woollens
only.

the correct quantity of detergent.

detergent's manufacturer).
ECOLOGICAL HINTS

the water hardness of your domestic system.

moderate, we recommend that you use a water
softener for washing machines. In areas where the
water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a
