The data refers to the highest temperature provided for each programme. The above temperatures are given as an indication : it is possible to change them by using the temperature selector which equipped your appliance. BE CAREFUL : THE LID CAN ONLY BE OPENED 90 SECONDS AFTER THE MACHINE HAS STOPPED. -4- Operating instructions 1. Place the laundry in the drum lift up the lid of the machine open the drum with your two hands by pressing the button A and the two flapdoors till they disengage. Bleach is automatically washed down into the drum. Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl bleach into compartment marked ( ) before switching the machine on. Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAX level. HINTS AND TIPS You are advised not to leave your laundry too long, especially when damp. Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 6). 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. 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. [. . . ] Replace the detergent dispenser in the notches until the hanging (fig. 5). fig. 3 fig. 4 fig. 1 fig. 2 The drain filter The machine has got a mecanic filter located on the front part to collect lint and small objects (toothpins, coins, pins, etc. ) inadvertently left in the clothes. It is essential that the filter is cleaned regularly. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of articles washed (cleaning should be more frequent if the articles have no hem and tend to fray).
