BAG FOR QUILTS, CURTAINS AND DELICATE GARMENTS Ariston has made it easier for you to wash even the most valuable and delicate garments in complete confidence thanks to the special bag which protects the laundry (this is supplied with the machine). We recommend that the bag is used every time you wash quilts and padded items with an outer layer made using synthetic material. The “Wool” programme “hand wash only” therefore offers you complete peace of mind when washing all woollen garments, with great performance guaranteed every time. Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washerdryer can be used to wash any domestic laundry in a single cycle called “BED&BATH 7 DAYS” that optimises the use of fabric softener while saving both time and electricity. we recommend that you use a powder detergent. Stubborn stains: stubborn stains should be treated with solid soap before the garment is washed (use the Cotton programme with pre-wash phase). GB  Do not use detergents when washing garments by hand, because they create too much foam. The detergent must be measured out into the relevant compartment, or into the detergent dosing ball which will be placed directly into the drum of the machine. In this case the Cotton cycle with pre-wash phase may not be selected. 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. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washerdryer continues at distribution speed only instead of the full spin speed. In order to achieve better load distribution and balance, we recommend that large and small garments are mixed when placing the laundry in the machine.
