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.

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.
7 Days: use programme
in one single cycle: it optimises softener performance and
helps you save time and energy. We recommend the use
of powder detergent.
Wool: is the only washing machine manufacturer to have
been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care
endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which
means that all woollen garments may be washed in the
washing machine, even those which state "hand wash
only"
on the label. Wash cycle
complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments
in the washing machine (max. load 1,5 kg) and guarantees
optimal performance.
Ultradelicates: use programme
garments having strasses or sequins.
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.

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
washing machine 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.
