HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend that
you wash them separately for the first
couple of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with 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,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading to
excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and open
the door (refer to "Daily Use"
chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Départ/Pause button.
The spin phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords,
shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose
elements.
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
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 other treatments
• Only use detergents and other
treatments specially made for washing
machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing
bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60
°C max) for all types of fabric, or
special ones for woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the recommended quantity
of detergent.
• Follow the instructions that you find on
packaging of the detergents or other
treatments without exceeding the
indicated maximum level (
• Use the recommended detergents for
the type and colour of the fabric, the
programme temperature and the level
of soil.
