¹⁾ Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

³⁾ The appliance performs the short heating phase if the water temperature is below 20°C. The appliance can show the temperature setting as “cold”.

⁴⁾ The default spin speed is 700 rpm.

⁵⁾ To reduce the creases of the laundry, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin phase. The appliance adds some rinses.

Programme Options Compatibility

¹⁾ When you set the Quick option, we recommend that you decrease the quantity of the laundry. It is possible to keep the full load but the washing results can be unsatisfactory. Recommended load: cotton: 4 kg, synthetics and delicates: 1,5 kg.

Consumption Values

Hints and Tips

The Laundry Load

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates, and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend washing 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 illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent for heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with 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. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g., underwired bras, belts, tights, etc.).
• 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.

Stubborn Stains

For some stains, water and detergent are not sufficient. We recommend removing these stains before putting 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.

Detergents and Additives

• Only use detergents and additives 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.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions found on the 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 your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add liquid detergents with a dosing ball (supplied by the detergent's manufacturer).

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.
• If necessary, use a stain remover when you set a programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, check the water hardness of your domestic system.

Water Hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend using a water softener for washing machines.
