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 thor-

oughly.

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 deter-

gent 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 spe-

cial for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-

propriate 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 quanti-

ties 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 com-

pany, 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.

Drying Hints

Preparing the drying cycle

As a dryer, the appliance works on the condensation prin-

ciple.

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.

Attention!

Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of

washed laundry, in order to obtain good performances.

Laundry not suitable for drying

• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains,

woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon

stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed cov-

ers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be ma-

chine dried.

• 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 laun-

dry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dry-

ers.

• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials simi-

lar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they

represent a fire hazard.
