FIRST WASH CYCLE
We recommend that the first wash cycle be carried out empty. This will remove any residual water used
in the factory checks.
1. Turn on the tap.
2. Close the drum flaps.
3. Pour a small amount of detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent dispenser.
4. Select a short programme (see programme chart).
5. Press the “Start/Pause” button.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Packing
• The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and
bear the recycling symbol . Adhere to local
regulations when disposing of packaging material.
2.Energy saving tips
• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the manufacturer’s instructions.
• The Eco Ball - a special system in the outlet - will
prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
• Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only!
Save detergent, time, water and energy
consumption by not selecting “Prewash” for
slight to normally soiled laundry.
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried
in stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash program.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C
wash programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C
wash programme.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a tumble dryer (for machines with
adjustable spin speed).

2.Empty pockets
Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage
your washing machine drum and tub.
3.Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Stain removal
• Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances are
generally removed by the enzyme phase of the
programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain removing agent in detergents
dispenser compartmentor chlorine bleach in
compartment(depending on model).
• Particularly stubborn stains should be treated

Loading the laundry
1. Open the lid.
2. Open the drum door flaps by pressing the button and keep
your second hand on the big drum door flap at the same time
(2a), or by turning the knob (2b) - depending on model.
3. Place the items of laundry in the drum one by one without
compressing them. Follow loads recommended in the
“programme chart”: overloading will result in unsatisfactory
washing results and creased laundry.
4. To close the drum, move both door flaps to the middle again,
putting the rear flap over the front flap. Then slightly press on
the middle of the flaps, as shown on picture 3, until you hear
a “click”. For checking if the drum is properly closed, shortly
push on the front flap.
Attention: Make sure that the drum door flaps are
properly locked (for drum versions as shown on picture
2a, the button must protrude out beyond the edge of

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Choice of the right detergents and additives
The type of detergent depends on:
• type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
Note: use only specific detergents for wool.
• colour;
• washing temperature;
• degree and type of soiling.
Notes:
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by
insoluble detergents components used in modern
phosphate-free powder detergents. If you notice
this problem, shake or brush the affected items or
use a liquid detergents.
Keep detergents and additives in a dry place and out
of reach of children.
Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make
sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
Descaler could contain components that can attack
parts of your washing machine.
Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).
Do not machine wash fabrics that have been
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in
relation to:
• the degree and type of soiling;
• the size of the load;
- full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions;
- half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
- minimum load (about 1 kg): half the amount
used for a full load;
• water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company): soft water requires
less detergent than hard water.
Notes:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, and the reduction of washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects excessive foam it
may prevent spinning.
Insufficient detergent may result in:
grey laundry, deposits on the drum, tub and heater.
When using concentrated fabric softeners, add water in
the detergents dispenser up to “MAX” level mark.
To prevent dispensing problems when using highly
concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use
the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the
detergent and place it inside the drum.
