Delicate washing programme suitable for silk and mixed synthetics
items. Washing temperature is 30°C.
The maximum spin speed is automatically reduced to 700 rpm.

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.

Special program at 30°C, (the duration is approx. 30 minutes),
suitable for laundry to be freshened up: e.g. a sport jacket worn only
once or slightly soiled or new garments.

With this programme it is possible to rinse and spin cotton garments
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.

For emptying out the water of the last rinse in programmes with the
Rinse Hold option.
Turn first the programme selector dial to «Off», then select
programme Drain and depress the Start/Pause button.

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.

Off = Cancelling

To reset a programme and to switch off the machine turn the
selector dial to «Off». Now can a new programme be selected.

Washing and drying 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

for normally soiled white cottons

90° or 95°

50°/60°

30°-40°-Cold

and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)

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).

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

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.

Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
fluffy items such as towels as these can attract

the fluff.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has

finished drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is com-

pleted, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.

Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal
inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such
as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags
and duvets must not be machine dried.

Garments padded with foam-rubber or materi­als similar to foam-rubber must not be machine
dried; they represent a fire hazard.

Also, fabrics containing residues of setting
lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar
solutions must not be machine dried in order to
avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturer’s labels.

For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturer’s labels.

May be tumble dried
Drying at high temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Do not tumble dry

IMPORTANT!

As a dryer, the machine works on the
condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and
the drain hose must drain water into a sink
or into the drain pipe, even during the dry­ing cycle.

11

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:

1200 gbathrobe

100 gnapkin
700 gquilt cover
500 gsheet
200 gpillow case
250 gtablecloth
200 gtowelling towel

600 gman’s work shirt
200 gman’s shirt
500 gman’s pyjamas
100 gblouse
100 gmen’s underpants

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.

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.

12

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.
