Automatic Variable Capacity
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as
Automatic Variable Capacity).
Detergent drawer
P
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the
minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of
washing.
The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments:
- the first, labelled "I", is for prewash detergent;
- the second, labelled "II", is for main wash detergent.
The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst
respecting the environment and saving you money.
- the third, labelled "
brighteners etc.
" is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch,
Note: only put liquid products in the third compartment.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for
all wash cycles.

Dosages
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent
Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well
as the type of detergent to choose.
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
- water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it
is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.
General purpose detergents
-
-
Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for
use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks,
cosmetics and oil.
-
the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on
the degree of soiling.
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain
bleach.
Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.
-
amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.
-
Special detergents
Dosage for powder detergent
-
-
-
-
Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often without any
optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour.
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a
programme without prewash.
Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes, particularly suitable
for handling woollen fibres.
Detergents for curtains with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to prevent
yellowing from sunlight.
Special detergents for programmed use of chemical substances, depending on fabric
type, degree of soiling and water hardness.
Put the detergent in compartment “II” of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment “I”, 3/4 in compartment “II” of the drawer.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment “II”.
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow what is shown on pack
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids
provided in the detergent packaging.
Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added separately.
Liquid detergent dosage
Additional laundry aids
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.
-
Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as
hard to very hard.
-
Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free
detergents.
-
Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine!
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent
drawer.
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.

Useful advice for users
Sorting the laundry
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical
way
-
It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and
detergent and not dry-clean items.
-
-
If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
Do a full load in your washing machine
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a
full load in your washing machine, do not exceed the maximum loads shown below:
Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always
follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and
treatment of the laundry

Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes
Wash by hand
When is prewashing really needed?
Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:
Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled
laundry.
Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to
use a laundry net or wash bag.
-
-
Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the
machine, and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".
Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time
separately.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than
90°C
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C.
Note: when sorting laundry
-
check there are no metal objects in the laundry
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins
etc...);
-
button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;
remove curtain hooks;
pay close attention to the labels on items
if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or
a special stain remover.
-
-
-
-
We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too
heavy since they absorb a lot of water.

The correct way to wash
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your washing machine,
just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:
- Cleaning the drawer compartments.
Preparing the laundry
A) Select the laundry.
Loading the laundry
B) Open the porthole.
- Cleaning the filter.
C) Put the laundry in the washing machine.
Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of
laundry are obstructing the lock.
Cleaning the drawer compartments
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the
compartments for detergents and additives occasionally.
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but
without forcing them.
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running
water.
Putting detergent in machine
D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the
correct amount, according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and the advice on page 16.
Add any other laundry aids (see page 16). Close the
drawer again.
C) Put everything back in its proper place.
Cleaning the filter
Selecting the wash programme
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for
handling large deposits which could block the discharge
hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be
easily retrieved.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least
once a month.
Refer to the programme guide to select the most suitable programme.
Activate the programme by turning the selector knob.
Wait for the "END" indicator light to flash.
Set the temperature using the temperature control knob.
Press additional function buttons (if required).
The cleaning operation is as follows:
1) Ease off the plinth cover as shown in picture.
Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge
hose is positioned correctly.
2) Use the base as a tray to collect leftover water in
filter.
Press the "Start/Pause" button.
When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine
sets the working sequence in motion.
3) Loosen the screw which holds the filter in place.
Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the
vertical position.
The programme carries out with the programme selector
stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends.
Remove and clean.
4) After cleaning, replace the filter and lock by
tightening the filter screw. Then follow all procedures
described above in reverse order.
Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while
the machine is operating, a special memory stores the
selected programme and, when the power is restored, it
continues where it left off.
Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is
washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the
following page to empty the water. This will prevent
excessive loss of water via the filter.
When the programme is finished
The indicator light “END” will go on.
Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished).
Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector to the “OFF” position.
Open the door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.

Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects:
-
-
-
-
waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in
suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;
presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by
the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor
rinsing.
Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to
remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable
foam production.
-
Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
