If the washing machine is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating.

Cool Wash The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry ­ an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent. It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, , , . 9 Detergents and laundry GB Detergent dispenser drawer Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution. !Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows. B A compartment A: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle. compartment B: Additives (fabric softeners, etc. ) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. Mix-Cool 30': this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting wash cycle 8, it is possible to wash different fabrics (except for wool and silk items) using a cold cycle, up to a maximum load of 3 kg. Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 9, even those carrying the "hand-wash only" label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 2 kg of laundry. Delicates: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special wash cycle number 11 "Duvet". 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. Preparing the laundry · Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
