Add the fabric softener Pour the softener, if required, into the compartment marked ( ). Press the half load " " and/or the "800/400" pushbuttons if required. Select the temperature Choose the temperature which corresponds to the chosen programme, with the help of the indications or the programme table, according to the fibers and the fastness of the colours. 7. Select the programme Choose the programme according to the nature and the degree of soil of the laundry. However, when the laundry is particularly dirty (for example if you have to wash mechanics' overalls or butchers' aprons), you are advised to use pre-wash with a biological detergent. 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. Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally be washed at 60°C but also in this case 40°C is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty. Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours and woollen garments must never be washed above 40°C. As you already know, your washing machine can also wash with cold water. However, it must be remembered that the detergents currently on the market have not been designed for cold washes and that in winter, when the water is very cold, they may not dissolve adequately. [. . . ] 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 this 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). Open the flapdoor (fig. 6) To drain the residual water : Place below a container not very high up with straight edges. [. . . ]
