At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 10 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.
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and col-
oured 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 illustra-
tions.
• 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
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small
items.
• 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.
18.2 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.
18.3 Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines.
• 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 you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device,
add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.
18.4 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing ma-

chines. 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.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:

• Make sure that carpets do not stop
the air circulation below the appliance.
• Make sure that the appliance does not
touch the wall or other units
• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust
the level. A correct adjustment of the
appliance level prevents the vibration,

• To a sink spigot.
Refer to the illustration. Put the drain
hose in the spigot and tighten it with a
clip. Make sure that the drain hose
makes a loop to prevent that remaining particles go in the appliance from
