Delicates 
Microfibres, easy-cares or curtains marked with these symbols require a very
gentle treatment.
The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric.
Woollens and particularly delicate items 
Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particu-
larly sensitive to machine washing.
The WOOLLENS programme is suitable for this type of fabric.
Fabrics marked with the  symbol (wool) can be machine washed only if
the label indicates “does not felt” or “machine washable”.
If the label has the symbol  (do not wash), the garments must not be
machine washed!

Detergents and additives 
Which detergent?....
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is impor-
tant to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents
recommended for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to
make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for dif-
ferent washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
WHITES
We recommend the Ariel product range which is bio-
logical and designed to provide excellent cleaning and
stain removal even at low temperatures.
NON BIOLOGICAL
If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which
does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy
provides good cleaning and stain removal.
COLOUREDS
For coloured items you should use a detergent which is
designed to clean while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps
to preserve colours.
DELICATE ITEMS
When washing delicates such as woollens, you should
use a product which is specially designed to care for fine
fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and oth-
er delicates.
LAUNDRY BLEACH
For additional stain removal you may wish to use a prod-
uct such as Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in addition
to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable
fabrics including silks, woollens and coloureds.
STAIN REMOVER
For heavily soiled garments to be washed with STAIN-
Action, you should use stain removers such as VANISH In-
Wash, Ecover Stain Salt and GloWhite Booster.

And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in
different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or com-
pact form is your own personal choice.
TRADITIONAL POWDERS
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder
onto clothes in the machine drum.
TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent draw-
er marked with the symbol  , start the machine immediately upon placing
the detergent in the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing
device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in
liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the
detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the
detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed
on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosingdevice/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving “softness”, and also reduce static cling on easy-
cares and make ironing easier. They are available in two types:
 For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in thewashing machine/washer dryer . The liquid fabric soft-
ener should be poured into the compartment marked
with the symbol  . Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the MAX level.
 Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a  tumble dryer. We
recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a
safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tum-
ble dryer.

Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.
Therefore,the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain
water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle .
Load
Warning:
Loads of washed laundry exceeding these values must be divided before
being dried, otherwise poor results will be obtained.
Garments not suitable for drying
 Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk,\
  gar-
ments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
 Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
 Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail sol- vents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the
formation of harmful vapours.

Drying symbols on garment labels
Always look at the garment label to check whether garments can be machin\
e
dried. 
The following symbols refer to drying:
Machine drying is usually possible
Normal drying (normal temperature)
Gentle drying (reduced temperature)
Do not machine dry
Duration of the drying cycle
The drying time can vary according to 
 the final spin speed;
 the required degree of drying (extra dry, only for cottons, store dry or irondry);
 the type of laundry;
 the size of load.
The usual drying times are indicated in the programme chart. As you become
more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the drying times that b\
est
suit your needs according to the various type of fabric. It is a good idea to
make a note of these times.
Modification of the drying time
If you wish to modify the drying time when a drying programme is running,
first depress START/PAUSE button to set the machine to PAUSE. After modi-
fying the time, depress START/PAUSE again to continue the programme.
Fibre residue
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is advisable to perf\
orm the
rinse cycle to be sure that any residue that may remain in the tub is com-
pletely removed and does not stick to garments dried afterwards.
After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and cleaned.

er short drying cycle.

avoid excessive drying.
