Cotton and fast-coloured synthetic items. Complete washing program that, in only 60 minutes, washes the daily soiled laundry intensively and ensures a good washing performance in a short time.

1) According to UK Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations, this programme at 40 °C is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle.

For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to ‘Consumption Values’ chapter. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn’t rotate or doesn’t rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme. 3) Set the spin speed. Make sure it is suitable for the type of fabric being washed. If you set the No Spin option then only the drain phase is available.

HINTS AND TIPS

If you set a programme or an option that ends with water in the drum, the Stand-by function doesn’t deactivate the appliance to remind you to drain the water.

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

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. · Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out. · Pre-treat stubborn stains. · Wash stubborn stains with a special detergent. · Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase. · 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 “Daily Use” chapter); 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. · Avoid washing garments full of long animal hair
or poor quality garments releasing lots of fluff that could block the drain circuit and therefore requiring the Service assistance. · Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose elements. · 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, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

· Empty pockets and unfold the items.
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.
DETERGENT TYPE AND QUANTITY The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps to avoid waste and protect the environment: · Use only detergents and other treatments
specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic rules: 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 types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.

· The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on: type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used.
· Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level

(

· Do not mix different types of detergents.

· Use less detergent if:

you are washing a small load,

the laundry is lightly soiled,

there is large amounts of foam during

washing.

· When using detergent tabs or pods, always put

them inside the drum, not in the detergent

dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

· unsatisfactory washing results,

· the wash load to turn grey,

· greasy clothes,

· mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

· sudsing,

· reduced washing effect,

· inadequate rinsing,

· a greater impact for the environment.

ECOLOGICAL HINTS
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

· Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
· Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programmes helps to reduce energy and water consumption.
· With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
· To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer and check the water hardness of you domestic system. Refer to ‘Water hardness’.
· Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected washing programme before drying your laundry in a tumble dryer. This will save energy during drying!
WATER HARDNESS
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
