HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Sorting out 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.
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 separate
ly the first time.
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.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisa
ble 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
1)
, lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat
any residual marks 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
1)
, then with ace
tic 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.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quan
tities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can up
set the delicate balance of nature.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
14 Helpful hints and tips

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 liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
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.
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
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. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest
you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the
degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

CARE AND CLEANING
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry
out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and ac
cording to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent
the formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells form
ing inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve
the door seal.
Maintenance wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside
the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.
