• Wash with a special detergent heavy

soil stains.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks or put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance laundry

without hems or with cuts. Use a

washing bag to wash small and/or

delicate items (e.g. underwired bras,

belts, tights, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this

occurs, adjust manually the items in

the tub and start the spin phase again.

11.2 

Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is

not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove 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.

11.3 

Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives

specially made for washing machines:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate

fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60

°C max) for all types of fabric, or

special for woollens only.

• Do not mix different types of

detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of

detergent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on

the on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type

and colour of the fabric, the

programme temperature and the level

of soil.

• If your appliance has not the detergent

dispenser with the flap device, add the

liquid detergents with a dosing ball

(supplied by the detergent's

manufacturer).

11.4 

Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash

phase to wash laundry with normal soil.

• Always start a washing programme

with the maximum load of laundry.

• If necessary, use a stain remover when

you set a programme with a low

temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of the

detergent, check the water hardness of

your domestic system

11.5 

Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you use

a water softener for washing machines. In

areas where the water hardness is soft it is

not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,

contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water

softener. Obey the instructions that you

find on the packaging of the product.

Descaling
