which have been washed by hand.
The machine performs 3 rinses, followed by a final spin at maximum
speed.
The spin speed can be reduced by depressing Spin button.
Drain
For emptying out the water of the last rinse in programme with the
Rinse Hold option.
Turn first the programme selector dial to «Off», then select programme
Drain and depress the Start/Pause button.
Easy Iron
Selecting this programme the laundry is gently washed and spun to
avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is easier. Furthermore the
machine will perform additional rinses.
Spin

Rinse Hold option. Before selecting this programme the selector
dial must be turned to «Off». You can choose the speed by means of
the relevant button to adapt it to the fabrics to be spun.
Sport 40°
This programme is suitable for washing heavily soiled sport items of
synthetic fabrics. The machine will add automatically a prewash phase

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
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.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
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.
90°
for normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,

50°/60°

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