[. . . ] If it becomes necessary to replace the power supply cable, refer exclusively to an authorised service centre. Do not use extension leads, especially in a damp atmosphere. Do not pull the power cable or appliance to remove the plug from its socket. Do not use detergents designed for hand washing, in that the excessive suds produced could damage the internal components. [. . . ] In order not to waste water, energy and detergent, it is advisable to load the machine to its maximum recommended capacity. Do not use the pre-wash unless it is strictly necessary. This will reduce water, energy consumption and time by an average of 10%. Try to avoid overloading the machine with articles in towelling only. Carefully check that there are no object left in the pockets of the articles that may block the drain pump. Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. The following paragraphs describe how to pre-treat stained fabrics before loading them in the machine. This will help prevent an unsuccessful wash and the formation of stain rings. Wax: Scratch away as much of the wax as possible using a blunt knife, then iron with a piece of silk paper between the iron itself and the stained item. Ball-point and felt-tip pens: Dab the stain with a cloth damped with 90° colourless alcohol. Rust: Use a rust remover, carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. Chewing gum: Dilute it with acetone and remove using a clean cloth. Treat it immediately with the solvent indicated on the paint container (water, turps, trichloroethylene), soap it and rinse. Lipstick: Dab it with ether if the stain is on wool or cotton or use trichloroethylene if on silk. Nail varnish: Place the stained part of the item over a sheet of absorbent paper and then dampen the reverse side of the item with acetone, frequently changing the absorbent paper under the stain. Repeat the procedure until the stain has disappeared. Metal stain: Apply lemon juice until the stain has disappeared or greatly reduced in intensity. Grass: Soap it delicately and treat with diluted bleach. For woollen items, 90° alcohol can produce good results.
