Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the
laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics,
delicates, woollens.
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.
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.
treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special
detergent then rub in the soap and water.
moisten with benzine stain remover,
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain;
treat several times.
moisten with turpentine, lay the
garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
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.
treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).
soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
moisten with acetone*, lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual
marks with bleach.
soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.

Tar stains:
Detergents and additives
Quantity of detergent to be used
depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone*, then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent 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 special 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.
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 quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
*
do not use acetone on artificial silk.
