Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special "Duvets" programme. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used in conjunction with the detergent dispenser drawer. Preparing the laundry  Unfold all items of laundry before placing them in the machine. • Divide the laundry according to type of material (the symbol on the garment label) and colour, making sure that whites are separated from coloured garments. • Do not exceed the values indicated in the “Table of Programmes”, which refer to the weight of the laundry items when they are dry. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 sheet pillowcase tablecloth bathrobe towel pair of jeans shirt 400 150 400 900 150 400 150 - 500 g 200 g 500 g 1200 g 250 g 500 g 200 g Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the bag provided and set the programme to "Duvets". Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washing machine can be used to wash any domestic laundry in a single cycle called “Weekly wash” that optimises the use of fabric softener while saving both time and electricity. Stubborn stains: stubborn stains should be treated with solid soap before the garment is washed (use the Cotton programme with pre-wash phase). Load-balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. If, after several attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set frequency.

Checking the water inlet hose Drum maintenance • Always leave the porthole door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. If there are any cracks, replace it immediately: the high water pressure used by the wash cycles could cause a cracked hose to split open. [. . . ]
