Notes: · Do not use liquid detergents when activating the "Start Delay" function (if available on your machine). · Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when activating the "Prewash" option or selecting a programme with "Prewash" (depending on the model). · Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble detergents components used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If you notice this problem, shake or brush the affected items or use liquid detergents. · Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children. · Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. · If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure that they are suitable for washing machine use. · Descaler could contain components that can damage parts of your washing machine. · Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc. ). · Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. Dosage Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in relation to: · the degree and type of soiling; · the size of the load; - full load: follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions; - half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; - minimum load (about 1 kg): half the amount used for a full load; · water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company): soft water requires less detergent than hard water. Notes: · Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, and the reduction of washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects excessive foam it may prevent spinning. · Insufficient detergent may result in: grey laundry, deposits on the drum, tub and heater. · When using concentrated fabric softeners, add water in the detergents dispenser up to "MAX" level mark. · To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it inside the drum.

For programmes without prewash and temperatures from cold to 40° C, it is recommended to use liquid detergents to avoid whitish residues on the laundry. ( ) Using chlorine bleach · Wash your laundry in the desired programme (Cotton, Synthetics), adding an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the SOFTENER chamber (close the lid carefully). · Immediately after end of programme, start the "Rinse and Spin" programme to eliminate any residual bleach smell; if you want, you can add softener. · Never put both chlorine bleach and softener into the softener chamber at the same time. Using starch powder If you want to use starch powder, proceed as follows: · Wash your laundry in the desired wash programme. · Prepare the starch solution according to the starch manufacturer's instructions. · Fill the prepared starch solution (maximum 100 ml) into the softener chamber of the detergent dispenser. · Close the lid and start programme "Rinse and Spin".
