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).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone

1)

, 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.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
