11. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
11.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured
items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty pockets and unfold.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash 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 leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to
"Opening the door when a
programme or the delay start
operates");
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button. The
spin phase continues.
11.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
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.
11.3 Detergents and other
treatments
• Only use detergents and other
treatments specially made for
washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing
bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization
– liquid detergents, preferably for
low temperature wash
programmes (60 °C max) for all
ENGLISH
types of fabric, or special ones for
woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• 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.
11.4 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.
25
• 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".
11.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
additive for water softening. In areas
where the water hardness is soft it is not
necessary to use him.
To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of additive for
water softening. Follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging of the
product.
12. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
12.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the

CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
12.2 Descaling
If the water hardness in your
area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a
water descaling product for
washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
12.3 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Perform a maintenance wash
regularly. To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton programme with the
highest temperature or use if is
available programme Machine Clean.
Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into empty drum, in order
to rinse out any left residues.
