[. . . ] - select the wished drying programme and time by respecting the nature of the laundry. - press on the on/off pushbutton " "; the drying programme continues. Independant drying If you realize a washing with a complete load of cotton (5, 0 kg) or of synthetics, it is necessary to proceed to the drying of the laundry in two times. In this case, at the end of the washing programme, get the half of the load of the laundry out of the drum (if you have used a ball-type packaging, take it away) and proceed as follow : to dry cotton - open the water inlet pipe - turn the programme selector on the position of the programme F "Drying" - select the drying time (with the drying time selector). - press the on/off pushbutton " ". The drying cotton cycle ends by a cooling phase about 17 minutes. Interruption of the drying cycle If you must break the drying cycle (to avoid), press off the on/off pushbutton " ". Be careful, in this case, the drum of your washer-dryer is very hot ; we advise to wait for a while before taking away the laundry (risk of burns). 37 HINTS AND TIPS Washing hints You are advised not to leave your laundry too long, especially when damp. 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. We suggest the use of liquid detergents. Sort your laundry. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 13). The following points are particularly important : - a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; - do not mix coloured garments with whites; - anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; - non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics; - the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing. How much laundry can be washed in one load? Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry. The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2, 5 kg and for wool, 1 kg. As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you estimate the weight according to how full the drum is: cotton and linen : drum full not too tighty packed resistant synthetics : no more than 2/3 of the drum delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of the drum. Prewash Prewash is not normally necessary. Your new washing machine combined with modern detergents will give perfect washing results without prewash, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, when the laundry is particularly dirty (for example if you have to wash mechanics' overalls or butchers' aprons), you are advised to use prewash with a biological detergent. 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. [. . . ] The holes which are now visible must be closed with the plugs (B) provided with the appliance (fig.
