It cannot be used in conjunction with , , , , , . 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. €¢ use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments. 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. Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for prewashing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C. Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. The laundry ball, close it and insert it into the drum together with the laundry. Then launch the specific programme “ “. At the end of the cycle, garments will be relaxed and fragrant. Not recommended for wool or silk garments. Do not add too much perfume to the sponge in order to avoid it dripping. Duvets: to wash double or 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 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. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer. [. . . ] €¢ If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience. €¢ The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe. €¢ The wash cycle does not include draining: Some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and options”).
