Washing programme for delicate fabrics with the «hand washing» care symbol .

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.

Washing programme for a single synthetic duvet, blanket, bedspread etc. The washing temperature is 30°C. The spin is performed at 700 rpm.

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 or Night Cycle option. Turn first the programme selector dial to «Off», then select programme Drain and depress the Start/Pause button.

Separate spin for hand washed garments and after programmes with Rinse Hold or Night Cycle 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.

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°

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 completed, 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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
