    Programme and temperature selector dials, spin speed button and available options
    Programme Selector Dial
    It allows you to switch the appliance on/off and/or to select
    a programme.
    Temperature selector dial
    This dial allows you to select the temperature more suit-
    able to the laundry to be washed.
    By selecting the position  the machine will wash with
    cold water.
    Available options:
    Spin Reduction
    By pressing this button you can change the spin speed of
    the selected programme.
     5
     
    						
    							Night Cycle
    By selecting this function the machine will not drain the
    water of the last rinse and all spinning phases will be
    suppressed, so as not to wrinkle the laundry. This wash-
    ing cycle is very quiet and it can be selected at night or
    in times with a more economical power rate. On some
    programmes the rinses will be performed with more water.
    Before opening the door it will be necessary to empty out
    the water. To empty out the water, please read the para-
    graph «At the end of the programme».
    Rinse hold
    By selecting this function the water of the last rinse is not
    emptied out to prevent the fabrics from creasing. Before
    opening the door it will be necessary to empty out the
    water. To empty out the water, please read the paragraph
    «At the end of the programme».
    Easy Iron
    By selecting this option the laundry is gently washed and
    spun to avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is easier.
    Furthermore the machine will perform some additional
    rinses in some programmes. On cotton programmes the
    maximum spin speed is reduced automatically.
    Super Quick
    Short cycle for lightly soiled items or for laundry which
    needs only freshening up. We recommend you to reduce
    the fabrics loading.
    Extra Rinse
    This appliance is designed for saving energy. If it neces-
    sary to rinse the laundry using an extra quantity of water
    (extra rinse), select this option. Some additional rinses
    will be performed. This option is recommended for people
    who are allergic to detergents, and in areas where the
    water is very soft.
    Start Pause
    This button allows you to start or to interrupt the selected
    programme.

    another wash, close the water tap. Leave the door open to
    prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant smells.
    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, wool-
    lens.
    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.
    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 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.
    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 gar-
    ment 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).
    8
     
     
    						
    							Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone1), 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 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 de-
    tergent 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
    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 quan-
    tities 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.
