[. . . ] For information about these programmes please refer to the programmes table. . 15 "Kg MODE" (Function active only on Cotton and Synthetics programmes) Through every wash phase "Kg MODE" allows to monitor information on the wash load in the drum. So, as soon as the "Kg MODE" is set in motion, in the first 4 minutes of the wash, it: - adjusts the amount of water required - determines the length of the wash cycle - controls rinsing according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it: - adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric being washed - recognises the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, the amount of water during rinsing - adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding any imbalance. In this way "Kg MODE" is able to decide, by itself, the most suitable programme for each individual wash from the hundreds of possible wash combinations. "Kg MODE" meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme selection. In fact, the user need only tell the machine the type of fabric in the drum and the degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the highest level of drying possible with a spin which really cares for your clothes. Detergent drawer The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments: - the compartment labelled "I" is for prewash detergent; - the compartment labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc; - the compartment labelled "II" is for main wash detergent. P NOTE: Some Detergents are Difficult to utilise. Ensure to use an in drum dispenser if recommended by the detergent Manufacturer. Note: only put liquid products in the compartment labelled " ". The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for all wash cycles. 16 17 Dosages Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. Liquid detergents, 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. - Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine. You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose. The amount of detergent to use depends on: - water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent. - the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on the degree of soiling. - amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a small amount of laundry. Additional laundry aids Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as hard to very hard. Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash. Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free detergents. Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics. If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener. Dosage for powder detergent For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a programme without prewash. Put the detergent in compartment "II" of the drawer. For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
