Thermostat 60° (0, 95 kWh - 49 liters - 130 minutes). (*) The data is given purely as an indication: the consumption values may vary in relation to the quantity and type of laundry, the temperature of the water supply and the ambient temperature. The data refers to the highest temperature provided for each programme. The programmes B and C begin with a short draining, followed then by an automatic advance of the programme selector until the filling position. The temperatures given in the programme table are provided as a guide. You can vary them using the thermostat knob of your washing machine. Always scrupulously respect the temperature shown on the label on each item of washing. BE CAREFUL : THE LID CAN ONLY BE OPENED 2 MINUTES AFTER THE MACHINE HAS STOPPED. - 10 - Programmes for synthetics/delicates/wool Maximum loads : 2, 5 kg (synthetics), 1, 0 kg (wool). Indicative consumptions * Prog. 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, 0 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2, 5 kg and for wool 1, 0 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%. [. . . ] 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. With sprung floors, in particular wooden plank floors with yielding floor boards, screw down a waterproof wooden base at least 15 mm thick, across at least 2 floor boards. [. . . ]
