Helpful hints and tips

The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, syn-
thetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on
the laundry care labels.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the
first wash. We recommend that you wash
them separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks
and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool
and items with painted illustrations.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil
stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag
or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
• Use a washing bag to wash small items.
• A very small load can cause balance prob-
lems with the spin phase. If this occurs, ad-
just 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 remove these stains
before you put the items in the appliance.

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 tem-
perature wash programmes (60 °C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for wool-
lens only.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more
than the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the
on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and
colour of the fabric, the programme temper-
ature and the level of soil.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dis-
penser with the flap device, add the liquid
detergents with a dosing device (supplied
by the detergent's manufacturer) or pour the
liquid detergent directly into the drum.
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a wa-
ter softener for washing machines. In areas
