Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily
result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause a
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight
of the laundry when dry: see "Table of wash cycles".
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain: this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if
there are obstinate stains.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automati-
cally activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles
open-air drying, with the added advantages of preserving
garments from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and pre-
venting loss of whiteness caused by the possible presence
of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a
level basis. Dryness level "Hanger" recommended.

Open the detergent di-
A
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
Anti Stain Quick: this programme is ideal for washing
the most difficult daily stains in 1 hour. It is ideal for mixed
fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as
it washes.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automati-
cally activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles
open-air drying, with the added advantages of preserving
garments from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and pre-
venting loss of whiteness caused by the possible presence
of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a
level basis. Dryness level "Hanger" recommended
Standard Cotton 20°C ideal for lightly soiled cotton
:
loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold
temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°,
are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at
varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of
wool garments labelled as "hand wash" provided that the
products are washed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
washing machine (M1135)
Delicates: use programme 4
very delicate garments having strasses or sequins.
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 4
and set the "Delicate" level from option
press of the button)
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate
garments for best results.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 160 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
Ready to Wear: select programme 7 for washing and
drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in a
short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laun-
dry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-
treat cuffs, collars and stains.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is
not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin
speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washer-
dryer performs the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we
recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
