Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

90° for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed 30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe	1200 g
napkin	100 g
quilt cover	700 g
sheet	500 g
pillow case	200 g
tablecloth	250 g
towelling towel	200 g
tea cloth	100 g
night dress	200 g
ladies’ briefs	100 g
man’s work shirt	600 g
man’s shirt	200 g
man’s pyjamas	500 g
blouse	100 g
men’s underpants	100 g

ENGLISH

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

13

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:

–powder detergents for all types of fabric,

–powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°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.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.

The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items.

Pour it into the compartment marked .

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

–you are washing a small load,

–the laundry is lightly soiled,

–large amounts of foam form during washing.

Degrees of water hardness

			Degrees

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.

Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

Tighten up the inlet hose.

P1090

5. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

•pull out the plug from the power socket;

•close the water tap;

•if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

•open the drainage area door;

•place a bowl to collect the water;

•release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap, when the bowl is full put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose;

•empty the bowl, repeat the procedure until you have completely emptied the washing machine;

•replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

6. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:

•disconnect the appliance;

•close the water tap;

•if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

•open the drainage area door;

•place a bowl to collect the water that will flow out;

•release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap;

•when the water stops flowing out, put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose, replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

does not spin:		interrupted the spin because the laundry is not evenly
		distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by
		reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen
		several times before the off balance disappears and
		normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the
		laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
		machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the
		load manually and re-select the spin programme.
- The machine makes an unusual noise:	•	The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
		makes an unusual noise compared to other traditional
		motors. This new motor ensures a smoother starting
		and an even distribution of the laundry in the drum
		when the machine is spinning. At the same time it
		increases the appliance stability.
- No water is visible in the drum:	• Appliances using modern technology are energy
		efficient. They use very little water without affecting
		washing results.
