Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the bag provided and set the programme to "Duvets". Stubborn stains: for stubborn stains we recommend pre-treating fabric with a commercial fabric stain remover, carefully following the instructions on the product label. Load-balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. If, after several attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set frequency. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine continues at distribution speed only instead of the full spin speed. In order to achieve better load distribution and balance, we recommend that large and small garments are mixed when placing the laundry in the machine. Washing advice for laundry type Shirts: use a suitable programme to wash shirts made from different fabrics and in different colours. This will guarantee that these garments are looked after properly. Disposing of an old washing machine: before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply cable and remove the appliance door. 4.
