Washing hints

Sorting the laundryFollow the wash code symbols on each garmentlabel and the manufacturers washing instructions.Sort the laundry as follows:whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95 for normally soiled white cottons and linen(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,sheets...)

60 for normally soiled, colour fast garments(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) inlinen, cotton or synthetic fibres and forlightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed30-40 laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens bearing the label pure newwool, machine washable, non-shrink.

Before loading the laundryNever wash whites and coloureds together. Whites

may lose their whiteness in the wash.New coloured items may run in the first wash; theyshould therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in thelaundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooksand poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rubparticularly soiled areas with a special detergent ordetergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie

them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loadsRecommended loads are indicated in theprogramme 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 thanone third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficientuse of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weightsThe following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 gnapkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towelling towel 200 g

night dress 200 g

ladies briefs 100 g

mans work shirt 600 g

mans shirt 200 g

mans pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

mens underpants 100 g

Removing stainsStubborn stains may not be removed by just waterand detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them

prior to washing.Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For driedstains, soak overnight in water with a specialdetergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stainremover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab thestain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, laythe garment on a soft surface and dab the stain withthe fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rustremoving product used cold. Be careful with ruststains which are not recent since the cellulosestructure will already have been damaged and thefabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whitesand fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites andfast 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 above, then treatstains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual

marks from white fabrics with bleach.Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse andtreat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat anyresidual marks with bleach.


12/21

12

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabricfirst with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat anyresidual marks on white fabrics with bleach and thenrinse thoroughly.Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylatedspirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additivesGood washing results also depend on the choice ofdetergent and use of the correct quantities to avoidwaste and protect the environment. Althoughbiodegradable, detergents contain substances

which, in large quantities, can upset the delicatebalance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type offabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergentsmay be used in this appliance:

powder detergents for all types of fabric,

powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60C max)and woollens,

liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60C max) for all types offabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed inthe appropriate compartments of the dispenserdrawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, aprogramme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculationsystem which allows an optimal use of theconcentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer

compartment marked just before starting theprogramme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must bepoured into the compartment marked beforestarting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturers recommendationson quantities to use and do not exceed the MAXmark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be usedThe type and quantity of detergent will depend on

the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling andhardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called degrees ofhardness. Information on hardness of the water inyour area can be obtained from the relevant watersupply company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers instructions onquantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

you are washing a small load,

the laundry is lightly soiled,

large amounts of foam form during washing.

Water is notvisible in the machine. The machine,

which is the result of modern technology, runsin a very economical way with low water

consumption. Performance isnevertheless excellent.

The machine makes an unusualnoise. The machine is fitted with a commutator

motor which improves machine performance.

P1034UK

Problem Possible cause

Spinning starts late or themachine does not spin:

The electronic unbalance detection device has cutin because the laundry is not evenly distributed inthe drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverserotation of the drum. This may happen severaltimes before the unbalance disappears and normalspinning can resume. If, after 5 minutes, thelaundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,the machine will not spin. In this case, redistributethe load manually and reselect the spinprogramme.
