Opening the door after the programme has started First set the machine to PAUSE by pressing the START/PAUSE button. The door can be opened when the door locked light has gone out. If the door does not open, this means that the machine is already heating or drying, that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door or that the drum is turning. During drying the door can be opened only the first 10 minutes and at the end of drying (after the cooling phase). If you cannot open the door but you need to open it you have to switch the machine off by depressing the ON/OFF button . After about 2 minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level!). To restart the programme depress ON/OFF button again after closing the door. F = Spin (Centrifugado) Separate spin at the maximum speed for hand washed garments. You can reduce the speed by means of button to adapt it to the fabrics to be spun. G = Short programme (Ciclo breve) This is a complete programme that can be combined with the following options: spin speed reduction, anti-crease and delayed start. To be used for laundry which is lightly soiled or which needs freshening up. Washing temperature 30C Programme duration 30 minutes Final spin speed 700 r. p. m. Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain. Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach. Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. 44 Maximum loads Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts. General rules: Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; Synthetics: drum no more than half full; Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full. Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size. Ink: 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. Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk. 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. 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.
