Fasten pressstuds and zips and sew on loose buttons. · The use of modern detergents and the correct washing temperature is generally sufficient to remove stains from fabrics. However, some difficult stains such as grass, fruit, egg, blood, rust, ballpoint pen, etc. Depending on the type of fabric, there are a large number of commercial stain removers on the market. In all cases, stains should be cleaned or diluted at once, since the older they are, the harder they are to remove. · Failure to comply with washing guidance symbols may result in damage to the items washed. Wool ­ Only wool marked as pure new wool, with the mark, or labelled "shrink-proof, machine-washable" can be washed in a washing machine on the specific programme; other types of wool should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. 4. 2 OPENING THE DOOR The appliance is fitted with a safety device which prevents the door from being opened while the programme is in progress. Check that all the water has been drained from the tank and the drum is at a standstill. · If the washing programme is interrupted, it will be from 3 to 15 minutes before the door can be opened, depending on the temperature reached inside the appliance. The water may still be boiling hot if the wash was at high temperature. Do not open the door if there is still water in the drum! 9 EN 4. 3 LOADS OF WASHING As far as possible, to save electricity, it is more economical to wash complete loads of the various types of fabric. Shake out the washing before loading, and alternate large and small items. It is best to weight the load the first few times, after which you will be able to rely on your experience. 4. 4 LOADING THE ITEMS FOR WASHING 1. Open the door and load the washing, distributing it evenly over the drum, with items opened out and not bundled together; if possible, large and small items should be well mixed. The washing machine covered by this manual can be loaded with up to 7kg of washing for each wash. If this weight is exceeded, the washing results will be poor and the appliance may malfunction.
