Programme information
HYGIENE
The washing programme for white cottons. This program
eliminates the micro-organisms thanks to the washing by
60°C and an additional rinse. In this way the action is more
effective. Put into the compartment STAIN a special
additive for hygiene and select the option STAIN.
MIX 40-60
Special programme for white and coloured cotton suitable
for different washing temperatures. This...

Programme information
ECONOMY
This programme can be selected for slightly or normally
soiled cotton items. The temperature will decrease and the
washing time will be extended. This allows to obtain a good
washing efficiency by saving energy.
OUTDOOR SPORTSSpecial program for sport clothes. By selecting this program,
do not add any additives.
SPORT INTENSIVE
This programme is suitable for washing heavily soiled sport
items. The machine will add automatically a prewash phase
before...

Preparing the wash cycle
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.
Temperatures
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...

Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing 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.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For
heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

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...

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just
beforestarting the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment
marked  before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturers’ 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...

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 according to the softening powder manufacturers 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...
