User manual INDESIT WG1285WG

[. . . ] Washing machine WG1285WG Thank you for choosing an Indesit product. This washer is reliable and easy to use. We suggest you read your owner's manual carefully. This will help you become familiar with your washer and its functions in order to obtain years of trouble free performance. Saves while it washes The double action wash penetrates so deeply that at just 60°C you obtain the same results you would normally obtain at 90°C with a traditional washer. Controlled consumption The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water used in the wash to the size of the load, giving optimum use of water, energy and detergent. Double-action wash Clothes are soaked in water and detergent, water then "rains" steadily through the clothes. Safety, a good habit to get into CAUTION Please read the instructions in this handbook carefully, as they contain important information about safe installation, operating and servicing. [. . . ] Fill with detergent and conditioner using the quantities indicated by the manufacturer on the packet according to the load you are washing, the water hardness and how soiled your laundry is. As you become more familiar with your washer, you will regulate the quantities according to your own personal experience. 3 GB 1.

If they are particularly stubborn, soak the garment in water and rub a little detergent onto the stain before putting it in the washing machine. Greasy marks (especially old ones) need treating with a stainremover. Be careful not to mark the fabric with remover. What not to wash in your appliance? - Torn, frayed or unhemmed items; in order to wash items of this kind, wrap them in a linen bag to prevent them from tearing during the wash. Dark items should be washed separately . Pre-treatment for awkward stains - Ink: ball point/felt tip; Put a few drops of nail varnish remover or surgical spirit onto a piece of cotton wool and dab the stain. This is only suitable for colourfast cottons) - Tar and oil; Scrape off any thick tar or oil on the surface. Soften the remainder with margarine or butter and wipe away with a clean cloth. Treat any residual stain with turpentine, then wash according to the fabric - Wax; Scrape off, then put the stained garment between two pieces of blotting paper and press with a hot iron. The prewash cycle should in fact be used only for heavily soiled, cotton fabrics. - Set the right temperature: use temperatures above 60°C only for very stubborn dirt but remember that modern detergents are very efficient even at low temperatures. - Use the correct quantities of detergent: do not use too much detergent; remember that not only will this make rinsing more difficult but also pollutes the enviroment. - Use the economy buttons: when washing small laundry loads use the Economy button if available on your washer and reduce the detergent quantity. - Your washer features automatic consumption control, this means that you can wash laundry loads from 1 - 5 kg with considerable savings. Your washer will use just the right amount of water and electricity. [. . . ] Do not overtighten the connections by using tools -hand tight is sufficient to prevent leaks. It is generally more convenient to have these supplies away from the sink taps. Where no suitable hot water supply is available or it does not meet these requirements, both inlet hoses may be connected to a cold supply by using two taps etc. , or a «T» junction on the plumbing (see fig. 6) however, use of cold water only will increase programme times.
