What goes in your washer-dryer?
Before washing, you can do a great deal for better results. Divide your garments
according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their indications and
alternate small items with large ones.
Before washing.
Divide your washing according to
the type of fabric and colour
resistance: sturdy fabrics should
be separated from delicate ones.
Light colours should be separated
from dark ones.
Empty all pockets (coins, paper,
money and small obejects) and
check the buttons. Mend
immediately or remove loose
buttons as they could fall off
during the wash cycle.
How to eliminate the most common stains
Ink and biro
Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
Tar
Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
Wax
Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with
turpentine or methyl alcohol.
Chewing gum
Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
Mold
Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar,
then washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
Lipstick
Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.
Nail polish
Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the
garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.

washer-dryer door safely. After
having removed the freshly

Remember that, in the event
of a power failure, or should
the washer-dryer switch itself
off, the programme chosen will
be memorised.
The labels say it all.
Always look at the labels: they
tell you everything about your
garment and how to wash it in
the best way possible.
The table on page 20 shows you
all the secrets of the symbols
found on labels. Their
indications are a valuable guide
to a better wash and to longer
lasting clothes.
Big and small happily
together.
This washer-dryer has a special
electronic control device for
distributing the wash load
evenly: before the spin cycle
starts, this device allows the
washing to position itself as
uniformly as possible in the
drum, according to the type of
washing and initial positioning.
For this reason, even at top spin,
the washer-dryer does not vibrate
or make any noise.
