Programme Programme description
Outdoor	Do not use fabric softener and make sure that there is no softener residue in the detergent dispenser.
	Outdoor clothing, technical, sport fabrics, waterproof and breathable jackets, shell jackets with a removable fleece or inner insulation. The recommended laundry load is 2.0 kg.This programme can also be used as water repellent restoring phase, specifically tailored for treating clothes with a hydrophobic coating. To perform the water repellent restoring phase, proceed as follows:Pour the washing detergent in the compartment.Pour a special water repellency restorer for fabric in the drawer compartment for fabric softenerReduce the laundry load to 1.0 kg.
	To further improve the water repellent restoring action, dry the laundry in a tumble dryer by setting 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 bacteria and viruses4)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 ensures a proper removal of detergent and micro-organism residues. This programme ensures also a proper reduction of pollens/allergenic items.
Eco 40-60	Low energy cycle for cottons. Decreases temperature and extends time to reach good washing results.
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.2) Steam programme doesn't remove particularly intense odour.3) After the steam treatment the laundry can be humid. Hang items out for a few minutes.4) Tested for Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and MS2 Bacteriophage in external test performed by Swissatest Testmaterialien AG in 2021 (Test Report No. 202120117).

15.4 Detergent type and quantity.

- Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic rules:

- powder detergents (also tablets and single-dose detergents) for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization,

- liquid detergents (also single-dose detergents), preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.

• 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.

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.

15.5 Periodic cleaning schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance.

After each cycle, keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly open to get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance.

If the appliance is not used for a long time: close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling Twice a year

Maintenance wash Once a month

Clean door seal Every two months

Clean drum Every two months

Clean detergent dispens- Every two months er

Clean drain pump filter Twice a year

Clean the inlet hose and Twice a year the valve filter

Regularly examine the drum to check for limescale. We recommend to run a cycle with empty drum and a descaling product occasionally.

Removing foreign objects

Make sure that pockets are empty and all loose elements are tied up before running your cycle.

Remove any foreign objects (such as metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you may find in the door seal, the filters and the drum. If necessary, please contact the Authorised Service Centre.

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 and if necessary clean as described in the following diagram. Coins, buttons, other small items can be recovered at the end of the cycle.
