Detergent drawer h was Pre-wder po er ion dit on c ic br Fa Main w as powde h r The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments: ­ ­ the first, labelled "I", is for detergent utilised during Prewash. the second, labelled "II", is for detergent utilised during the main wash. Note: some forms of detergents are difficult to dispense from the drawer e. g. For these, we suggest you use the recommended dispenser which is placed inside the drum. This ensures that the liquid detergent is dispersed in the drum only when needed. ­ the third, labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc. The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for all wash cycles. Note: only put special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners, etc, in the third compartment. 14 40000622. qxd 13/09/2003 18:51 Page 15 Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents ­ Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agents, are particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. ­ Liquid detergents, are particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach. ­ Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash. Special detergents ­ Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often without any optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour. ­ Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes, particularly suitable for handling woollen fibres. ­ Detergents for curtains with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to prevent yellowing from sunlight. ­ Special detergents for programmed use of chemical substances, depending on fabric type, degree of soiling and water hardness. DELICATES This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that comprises of alternate periods of activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics, such as Pure New Wool. Wash and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. SPECIAL PROGRAMMES i) AA SPECIAL PROGRAMME at 40°C This special programme has been studied to allow you to obtain the best washing performance, even at full load, as the 60°C Cotton programme (the normative cycle), but with the double advantage of : - washing cotton and mixed in the same cycle - energy saving due to 40°C temperature, instead of 60°C. ii) DAILY WASH 40°C - FAST PROGRAMMES By maintaining exceptional washing performance, these programmes allow you to know in advance the necessary time for your everyday laundry. In fact, this washing machine is equipped with two daily rapid programmes at 40° C, that were just studied for: - lightly soiled fabrics; - medium or little load. 17 40000622. qxd 13/09/2003 18:51 Page 18 - DAILY WASH 40°C - FAST 29' A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in approximately 29 minutes: a maximum load of 2 KGs; lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics).
