6. CONSUMPTION VALUES

The data in this table are approximate. Different variables can affect the

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

ture.

At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme dura‐

tion 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 7 kg,

the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the pro‐

gramme duration will be less than 1 hour).

When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot

flashes 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 white and coloured items

together.

• 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 multilayered fabrics, wool and

items with painted illustrations inside

out.

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash heavy soil stains with a special

detergent.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks or 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, 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 pre-treat these

stains before you put the items in the

appliance.

ENGLISH 17

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

woollens 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 temperature and the level

of soil.

• If your appliance does not have the

detergent dispenser with the flap

device, add the liquid detergents with

a dosing ball (supplied by the

detergent's manufacturer).

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

allowed.

• If necessary, use a stain remover

when you set a programme with a low

temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of

detergent, check the water hardness

of your domestic system. Refer to

"Water hardness".

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.

12. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

12.1 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with soap and warm

water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents

or chemical products.

12.2 Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you

use a water descaling product for

washing machines.

Regularly examine the drum to prevent

limescale and rust particles.

To remove rust particles use only special

products for washing machines. Do this

separately from the laundry wash.

Always obey the instructions

that you find on the

packaging of the product.

12.3 Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programmes it

is possible that some detergent stays in

the drum. Perform a maintenance wash

regularly. To do this:

• Remove all laundry from the drum.
