The water can be emptied out in 2 ways: · Draining only by depressing the START/PAUSE button. · Draining and spin: turn the programme selector dial to O, select programme "F" (spin), reduce eventually the spin speed by means of button and depress START/PAUSE button. · If the water is not emptied out within 18 hours, the machine empties automatically. · At the end of the soak (after having emptied out the water) you can select the washing programme. Turn first the programme selector dial to O, then select the programme and depress the START/PAUSE button.

The spin speed can be reduced by depressing button . C = Softeners Hand washed garments can be softened with this programme. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing. Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water. Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times. Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth. Rust: 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. Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only). 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.
