You must read them before the appliance is installed or used. [. . . ] If the rinse hold pushbutton " " is selected, the washing programmes end by a rinse hold in order to prevent the formation of creases. You can finish these programmes by a spinning (by releasing the rinse hold pushbutton) or by a draining (by depressing the on/off pushbutton " " and by choosing the programme P). BE CAREFUL : THE LID CAN ONLY BE OPENED 90 SECONDS AFTER THE MACHINE HAS STOPPED. 10 Programmes for synthetics/delicates/wool Maximum loads : 2, 5 kg (synthetics), 1 kg (wool).

The timer knob stops on the position "I" and the control lamp lights off. 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. - treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint, ink etc. with a stain remover before washing. Temperatures We suggest that white cotton and linen, if it is not excessively soiled, can be washed at 60° instead of 90°C. There should be no reduction in performance, but there will be an energy saving of approximately 30%. The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured garments. They usually require a temperature of 60°C but if they are not excessively dirty, you will have satisfactory results at 40°C. Garments with non-fast colours should not be washed at temperatures above 40°C. 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. 12 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. Liquid additives 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. [. . . ] 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. These openings ensure a good ventilation of your appliance. In case of small format tiles, place a standard rubber mat under the machine. [. . . ]
