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).

Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid accidental spills and help to protect the environment: although they may be biodegradable, detergents contain elements that alter the balance of nature. We recommend: the use of powder detergents for white cotton garments and for pre-wash phases; Use only detergents designed for Front Load washing machines, otherwise too much foam may be produced resulting in poor wash performance and possible damage to the internal components of your machine. Liquid detergents must clearly state Low Suds and be suitable for Front Load Washers. Dosage: Due to their lower water consumption, front loaders do not require as much detergent as top loaders. 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. Wool: Ariston is the only washing machine to have obtained the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care mark of recognition (M. 0508) from The Woolmark Company, which certifies the machine washing of woollen garments, where the label states "hand wash (max. The wool programme offers you only" peace of mind when washing woollen garments with optimal performance. Wool detergents not specifically stating use with front loading machines should be used only in very small quantities (less than stated) as they can cause too much foaming which will reduce washing performance. Duvets: to wash single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special "Duvets" programme. We recommend the use of special detergents designed for silk or delicate garments. Curtains: these should be folded and placed inside the bag provided. Use the "Silk" programme. 8 Precautions and tips This machine was designed and manufactured in compliance with current international safety standards.
