Stains not soluble in water
Treat these stains with a special stain remo-
val product.
Difficult stains
Felt-tip pen and biro: rub these stains with
a cloth soaked in alcohol.
Candle wax: cover these stains with a piece
of blotting-paper and iron at the correct
temperature for the material. If necessary,
repeat the operation.
Resin, grease and skin-care cream: treat
these stains with a petro-based stain remo-
ver and then wash.
Tar: rub these stains with butter and set to
one side for a while, then wash.
Blood, milk and egg: soak in cold water and
then wash with biological detergent at a
temperature of 50ºC to 60ºC, provied the

disappear after a number of washes.
If you come up against a stain which is not
washable or particularly stubborn, ask for
specialist advice. In any case, NEVER USE
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN THIS WASHING

Practical advice on the wash
load
– Whenever possible, it is best to wash
with a full load, as this will reduce water
and electricity consumption conside-
rably.
– If you have to wash very dirty clothes o
very absorbent items (towels, bathro-
om linen, etc.), it is advisale to reduce
the maximum load given.
– Whenever possible, we recommend
that you wash items of different sizes in
the same wash programmes, as this
helps the wash action and benefits the
distribution of clothes in the drum
during spin drying. It also means that
the machine operates more quietly.
General hints on washing
– When you wash garments which requi-
re different wash temperatues, always
select the lowest temperature.
– Generally speaking, whiteners should
only be used to wash resistant while
fabrics such as cotton, linen, etc.
– Wash garments made of synthetic,
mixed and delicate fibres in Delicate
Programmes to avoid creasing which
will be difficult to iron out.
– It is best to finish Delicate programmes
with a short spin. This will increase the
efficiency of the rinses an mean that the
clothes are well wrung out.
General tips
Maintenance
Before cleaning or carrying out any main-

Cleaning
After each wash, leave the loading door
open for a while so that air can circulate
inside your machine.
From time to time it is a good idea to run a
complete Wash Cycle, using a delicaling
product. This will help prolong the life of
your machine.
Cleaning the outside of your washing
machine
Use warm soapy water or a gentle non-
abrasive cleaning agent which is not a sol-
vent to clean the outside of your washing
machine. Then dry it well with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Clean the detergent dispenser whenever
you see a build up of washing powder
