cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature

declared for the selected programme.

6. CONSUMPTION VALUES

The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the

data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient tempera‐

ture.

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the

maximum load capacity.

During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically cal‐

culated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the

maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 6 kg,

the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme

duration don’t reach 1 hour).

When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot

blinks in the display.

11. HINTS AND TIPS

11.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,

synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that

are on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash together white and

coloured items.

• 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.

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash with a special detergent heavy

soil stains.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks or put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance laundry

without hems or with cuts. Use a

washing bag to wash small and/or

delicate items (e.g. underwired bras,

belts, tights, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this

occurs, adjust manually the items in

the tub and start the spin phase

again.

11.2 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.

Special stain removers are available.

Use the special stain remover that is

applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

11.3 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 temperature wash

programmes (60 °C max) for all

types of fabric, or special for

11.4 Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash

phase to wash laundry with normal

soil.

• Always start a washing programme

with the maximum load of laundry.

• If necessary, use a stain remover

when you set a programme with a low

temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of the

detergent, check the water hardness

of your domestic system

11.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you

use a water softener for washing

machines. In areas where the water

hardness is soft it is not necessary to use

a water softener.

To know the water hardness in your

area, contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of the water

softener. Obey the instructions that you

find on the packaging of the product.
