The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.),

the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:

• powder detergents for all types of fabric

• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°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.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the

dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the con-

centrated detergent.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex-

ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of

soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load

• the laundry is lightly soiled

• large amounts of foam form during washing.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of

the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from

your local authority. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add

a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the degree of

hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

CARE AND CLEANING

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out

any cleaning or maintenance work.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water soft-

ening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according

to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the forma-

tion of lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming

inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door

seal.
