Washing hints

Removing stains

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)

30°-40°

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.

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic fibres
and woollens bearing the label «pure
new wool, machine washable, non­shrink».

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.

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

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.

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,

– multi-part detergents for separate dispensing of

detergent, water softener and bleach.

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.

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.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations
on quantities to use.

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.

Hints on how to save energy and protect
the environment

By following these hints, you will obtain economical
washing without damaging the environment:

– whenever possible, wash the maximum load for

the selected programme;

– measure out detergent according to the water

hardness, degree of soiling and quantity of laundry
being washed;

– use a programme without prewash when washing

lightly soiled laundry.
