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.
14.3 Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and other
treatments 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 (detergent flap
rotated in position B in the main
wash dispenser compartment).
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• Do not use single dose tablets inside
the detergent dispenser.
• 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.
• If your appliance has not the
detergent dispenser with the flap
device, add the liquid detergents with
a dosing ball (supplied by the
detergent's manufacturer).
14.4 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 you pre-treat the stains or use a
stain remover, 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".
14.5 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 find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water
softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
14.6 Prepare the drying cycle

14.10 Additional drying
If, at the end of the drying programme,
the laundry is still damp, set a short
drying cycle again.
WARNING!
To avoid creasing and
shrinkage do not overdry
the laundry.
14.11 General Tips
Refer to the «Timed drying» table to find
the average drying times.
Experience will help you to dry the
laundry better. Take note of the duration
of the cycles done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of
the drying cycle:
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for
tumble dryers.
3. Do not pour any detergent or
softener before a drying cycle.
4. Do not dry rough and smooth textiles
together, to avoid scorching on
smooth garments.
