ECOLOGICAL HINTS
To save water, energy and to help protect
the environment, we recommend that you
follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewashing in order to save de-
tergent, water and time (the environment
is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if
it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the laun-
dry can then be washed at a lower tem-
perature.
• Measure out detergent according to the
water hardness, the degree of soiling and
the quantity of laundry being washed.

DAILY USE
SORT 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, deli-
cates, woollens.
BEFORE LOADING THE LAUNDRY
Important! 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 any hooks
(e.g curtains).
• Never wash whites and coloureds to-
gether. 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.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a spe-
cial detergent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the
bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before wash-
ing:
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 turpen-
tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and
dab the stain with the fingertips and a cot-
ton 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
2)
, lay the garment on a soft cloth
and dab the stain.

MAXIMUM LOADS
Recommended loads are indicated in the
«Washing Programmes».
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.
CLOSE THE DOOR GENTLY
Warning! Make sure that any fabrics
were not trapped when closing the
door.
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
(40°C max) and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tem-
perature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for wool-
lens only.
QUANTITY OF DETERGENT TO BE
USED
The type and quantity of detergent will de-
pend on the type of fabric, load size, de-
gree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always
to what is written on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during wash-
ing.
DEGREES OF WATER HARDNESS
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hard-
ness of the water in your area can be ob-
tained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority.
If the water hardness degree is medium or
high we suggest you to add a water soften-
er following always the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, read-
just the quantity of the detergent.
OPEN THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
