Useful advice for users
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical
way
Do a full load in your washing machine
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a
full load in your washing machine, not exceed the maximum loads shown below:
Cotton and linen 5 kg
Mixed 2 kg
Very delicate 1,5 kg
Wool 1 kg
Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes
When is prewashing really needed?
Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled
laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than
90°C

QUICK WASH button
Pressing this button reduces the time of the wash programme by a maximum of 50 minutes
depending on the programme and the temperature selected. The quick wash button can be
used for washing loads of 1 to 5 kg. (This button can be utilised only on cottons and synthetic
programmes).
EXTRA RINSE
button
By pressing the “EXTRA RINSE” button, even the slightest residue of detersive is removed
from fabrics. This is particularly important for people with delicate skins.
Programme selector
The washing machine has 3 different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature and duration for handling the various types of fabric (see wash programme
guide).
1. Colourfast fabric COTTONS
The programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing.
With spin stages in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly.
The final spin stage ensures laundry is wrung out as much as possible.
2. Mixed fibres and synthetics SYNTHETICS
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and
water level. The delicate action spin minimises creasing.
3. Delicate fabrics DELICATES
This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that comprises alternate periods of
activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics, such as
Pure New Wool. Wash and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to get
the best results.
Main wash
Automatic Variable Capacity
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as
Automatic Variable Capacity).
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the
minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of
washing.
The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst
respecting the environment and saving you money.
Detergent drawer
The detergent draw is split into 4 compartments:
- the first, labelled "I", is for 32 minutes
rapid programme detergent
- the second, labelled "II", is for main wash detergent
If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special
container supplied into the compartment marked “II” in the
detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent
enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle.
Note: some detergents are difficult to remove. For these,
we recommend you use the special dispenser which is
placed in the drum.
- the third, labelled " ", is for bleaching agents.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up the bleach during the first rinse in
cotton cycles.
Note: only put liquid products in the third and fourth
compartments.
- the fourth, labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch,
brighteners etc.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for
all wash cycles.
