For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes). 1 RESISTANTS FABRICS The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing. The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.

COTTONS

MIX & WASH SYSTEM PROGRAMME This is an exclusive Candy system and involves 2 great advantages for the consumer: to be able to wash together different type of fabrics (e.g. cotton + synthetic etc) NON-FAST COLOUREDS; to wash with a considerable energy saving. The "Mix & Wash" programme has a temperature of 40C and alternate dynamic phases (the drum that turns) to static phases (fabrics in soak in phase of rest) with the programme duration that almost reaching the 3 hours. The energy consumption for the complete cycle is only 850 W/h. Important: the first washing of new coloureds fabrics must be done separately; in every case, never mix NON-FAST COLOUREDS fabrics. 32 MINUTE RAPID PROGRAMME 50C The 32 minute rapid programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 30 minutes, with up to a maximum load of 2 kg and a temperature of 50C. When selecting the "32 minute rapid" programme, please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.
2 MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS SYNTHETICS The main wash and rinse gives the best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased. 3 SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics such as Pure Machine Washable Wool. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results. HAND WASH This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle. This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as Hand Wash only on the fabric care label. The programme has a temperature of 30C and concludes with 3 rinses and a slow spin. 4. SPECIALS SPECIAL RINSE PROGRAMME This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin. It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing. This programme can be also used during Bleaching (see table of washing cycle programmes). SPECIAL FAST SPIN PROGRAMME Programme FAST SPIN carries out a maximum spin. DRAIN ONLY This programme drains out the water.

DELICATES

Automatic Variable Capacity
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as Automatic Variable Capacity). 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 washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst respecting the environment and saving you money.

Detergent drawer

The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments: - the compartment labelled "I" is for prewash detergent; - the compartment labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc; - the compartment labelled "II" is for main wash detergent. If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special container supplied into the compartment marked II in the detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle. This special container must be inserted into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer, also when you wish to use the "RINSE" programme as BLEACHING cycle. -
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent General purpose detergents
Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. 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.

Additional laundry aids

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.

NOTE: Some Detergents are Difficult to utilise. Ensure to use an in drum dispenser if recommended by the detergent Manufacturer. Note: only put liquid products in the compartment labelled . The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for all wash cycles.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine! Keep detergents and other laundry products out of childrens 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.

Dosages

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. - the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on the degree of soiling. - amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a small amount of laundry.

Useful advice for users

Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way
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, not exceed the recommended maximum load size. Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes
When is prewashing really needed? Dosage for powder detergent
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a programme without prewash. 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. Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60C. Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60C wash temperature rather than 90C

Liquid detergent dosage

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.

Main wash

Sorting the laundry
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. 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 Laundry for hot wash Coloured, easy-care materials Delicates and wool Wash by hand Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing: 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. For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40C.

The correct way to wash

Preparing the laundry A) Select the laundry. Loading the laundry B) Open the porthole. C) Put the laundry in the washing machine. Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock. Putting detergent in machine D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the correct amount, according to the manufacturers instructions and the advice on page 17. Add any other laundry aids (see page 17). Close the drawer again.
Selecting the wash programme
Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the machine to select the most suitable programme. Turning the selector knob, the required programme is activated. Wait for the STOP indicator light to flash. Press additional function buttons (if required). Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly. Press the "Start/Pause" button. When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion. The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends. 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.
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.

REMEDY

Plug it in. Switch on. Check. Check. Close door. Check. Turn on tap. Position programme selector correctly. Straighten fill hoses Straighten discharge hose. Examine filter (see pages 22-23) Clean drain Replace gasket and tighten hose and tap well. Clean drain Clean soap drawer
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.
