Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally be washed at 60°C but also in this case 40°C is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty. Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours and woollen garments must never be washed above 40°C. As you already know, your washing machine can also wash with cold water. However, it must be remembered that the detergents currently on the market have not been designed for cold washes and that in winter, when the water is very cold, they may not dissolve adequately. If fast and non-fast colours are washed together, they should be treated as non-fast colours and therefore the temperature should not exceed 40°C. 30 Before placing the laundry in the machine: - mend all tears, holes and ladders; - secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips; - do not wash frayed garments - mend hems before washing; - remove all small objects from pockets. Nails, pins, clips and similar objects can seriously damage your washing machine and laundry; - remove curtain hooks; - wash coloured garments and in particular those with non-fast colours separately when washing for the first time. They are likely to lose colour the first time they are washed. - treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint, ink etc. with a stain remover before washing. To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile substance such as turpentine: in this case, you should wait for it to dry completely before washing. The manufacturer of your washing machine is not responsible for any damage deriving from the use of volatile, inflammable or toxic substances. Liquid detergents Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid detergents, it is possible to use a liquid detergent for main wash phases if you start the washing machine immediately. Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder detergents particularly for lightly soiled laundry and for medium or low temperature washing programmes, while it is better to use a powder detergent for high temperature washing programmes. At the end of the washing Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible after finishing the wash. Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away from direct sunlight. Detergents and additives 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 damage the delicate ecological balance of nature. Always use good quality detergents suitable for use in washing machines. [. . . ] If you want to keep the alignment of your appliance with the adjacent cupboards, you have the possibility to cut the crossbar holding the hoses located at the back of your washing machine (fig. 2 A B Fig 4 Fig 5 Fig 6 37 Installation The floor must be clean and dry, free from floor polish and other greasy substances, so that the machine does not slide about. Installation on deep pile carpets and floor coverings with foam backings is not recommended, as the stability of the machine is no longer guaranteed. If the installation must be done on a carpeted floor, the openings located at the lower part of the back of the appliance must remain free. [. . . ]
