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. [. . . ] Extra Rinse By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin. It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, , . Easy iron By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (blue and orange respectively). To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 10-12, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 9, 13, , . Cool Wash The Cool 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 Successful 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; they create too much foam. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows. C B A Compartment A: Washing detergent (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. Extra compartment C: we recommend this compartment is used for liquid detergent. 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: wash cycle 9 can be used to wash all woollen garments in the machine, even those carrying the "hand wash only" label. To achieve the best results, use a special detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2 kg. 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: we recommend you fold the 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".
