This programme can also be used as water-repellent restoring cycle, specifically tailored for treating clothes with a hydrophobic
coating. To perform the water-repellent restoring cycle, proceed as follows:
• Pour the washing detergent in the compartment .
• Pour a special water-repellent restorer for fabric in the draw‐ er compartment for fabric softener .
• Reduce the laundry load to 1 kg.
To further improve the water-repellent restoring action, dry the laundry in a tumble dryer by set‐ ting the Outdoor drying programme (if available and if the garment care label permits tumble drying).
Hygiene | White cotton items. This high-performance wash programme combined with steam vapour, removes more than 99,99% of 2) bacteria and viruses keeping the temperature above 60°C throughout the washing phase; with an additional action on the
fibers thanks to a vapour phase, an enhanced rinsing phase en‐ sures a proper removal of detergent and micro-organism resi‐
dues. This programme ensures also a proper reduction of pol‐ lens/allergenic items.

1. During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn’t rotate or doesn’t rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items together.

• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first couple of times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out.

• Pre-treat stubborn stains.

• Wash stubborn stains with a special detergent.

• Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.

• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
  a. interrupt the programme and open the door (refer to “Daily Use” chapter);
  b. manually redistribute the load so that the items are spaced evenly around the tub;
  c. press the Start/Pause button. The spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose elements.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

13.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
13.3 Detergent type and quantity
The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps to avoid waste and protect the environment:

• Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic rules:
  – powder detergents for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization,
  – liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on: type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level ( MAX ).

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• Use less detergent if:
  – you are washing a small load,
  – the laundry is lightly soiled,
  – there is large amounts of foam during washing.

• When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.

13.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programmes helps to reduce energy and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer and check the water hardness of you domestic system. Refer to ‘Water hardness’.
• Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected washing programme before drying your laundry in a tumble dryer. This will save energy during drying!

13.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you additive for water softening. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use him.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of additive for water softening. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

Regularly examine the drum to check for limescale.
The regular detergents already contain water softening agents, but we recommend to run a cycle with empty drum and a descaling product occasionally.
Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
14.5 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is possible that some detergent stays in the drum. Perform a maintenance wash regularly. To do this:

• Remove all laundry from the drum.

14.6 Door seal
This appliance is designed with a self cleaning draining system, allowing light fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be drained out with the water. Regularly examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other small items can be recovered at the end of the cycle.Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream cleanser agent without scratching the seal surface.
Always obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
14.7 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign body in the washing or tap water containing iron
