Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. [. . . ] Wash options Extra rinse By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. We recommend this option is used with a full load of washing, or when a large amount of detergent is required. Easy Iron By selecting this option, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine drum will rotate slowly; the “Easy Iron” and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button. Super Wash This option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains. If you desire bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (3) into compartment 1. When pouring 3 in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level 1 marked on the central pivot (see figure). To bleach laundry 2 without carrying out a full wash cycle, pour the bleach into the extra compartment 3, select the “Rinse” cycle” and activate the “Super Wash” option . Prewash If this function is selected, the pre-wash cycle will run; this is useful for removing stubborn stains. It cannot be used in conjunction with , , , , , , , , , (60°), , . 7 Detergents and laundry EN Detergent The type and quantity of detergent required depend on the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc. ), as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of soiling and the hardness of the water in the area. Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage and help to protect the environment: although they are biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which alter the balance of nature. We recommend the following: • use powder detergents for white cotton garments and pre-washing. € use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and for all low-temperature wash cycles. The detergent should be poured into the relevant compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle. Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C !Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3, 5 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle. 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.
