Installation

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation and features. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety.

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment. Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.
Preparing your laundry
Divide your laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label. Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry: Sturdy fabrics: max 6 kg Synthetic fabrics: max 2. 5 kg Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg Wool: max 1, 5 kg

Special items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1, 5 kg.
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.
Bleach cycle
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.
Place extra compartment 4, provided, into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on the central pivot (see figure). To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into extra and compartment 4, set the Rinse programme enable the Stain removal function (see page 9). To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and fabric softener, set the desired programme and enable the Stain removal function (see page 9). The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle.
