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. Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C !Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Preparing the laundry • Shake out the garments before loading them into the machine. € Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you separate the coloured garments from the white ones; • Empty all pockets and check the buttons; • Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry. [. . . ] € The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”). € The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”). € 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. [. . . ]
