User manual WHIRLPOOL AWG 310 E W PRODUCT FICHE

[. . . ] Store detergent and water softener in a dry place, out of the reach of children. Do follow the detergent manufacturers recommendations for detergent quantities and our suggestions for partial loads. With an half load, only use 3/4 of the recommended detergent quantity and with a minimum load (1 kg approx. ), only use half dose. Do remove all loose items such as pins, coins and paper handkerchiefs from pockets before washing. [. . . ] Curtains They require especially careful treatment. Damage may be caused when removing the curtains from the window. The manufacturer can accept no responsibility for damage that may occur during washing, when the instructions given on the care labels are not observed. New articles Excess dye on new, coloured articles can often run into lighter clothes when washed. It is recommended that such articles are washed separately the first time. Loading the clothes Check that the inlet hose is connected to the tap and that the drain hose is correctly positioned in the drain. Make sure the machine is plugged in and the socket switched on. Sort the clothes into loads according to the programme chart. Open the door and put the clothes into the machine. Close the door firmly making sure it latches. Using laundry products This automatic washing machine has been designed to take account of the latest environmental advances in modern washing machine technology. Water softeners The quality of water has been classified according to its hardness (see water hardness chart). When a programme ends, dark tetiles in particular may show white detergent residues. This is not due to inadequate rinsing but to the insoluble water-softening agents used in modern phosphate-free detergents. The white specks can normally be shaken or brushed off, but to avoid them occurring, try a different washing powder or use liquid detergent. Due to modern detergents (powder or liquid) some foam may be seen during the final rinse or when spinning. This does not make the rinse any less effective. Bleach Detergents recommended for use in automatic washing machines contain enough bleaching agent to remove stains. Using a separate bleach will not damage the machine but unless it is used carefully it can weaken and discolour some materials. Difficult stains can be treated individually. Fabric conditioner This gives a softer feel to towels, babies’ nappies, and woollen garments, makes ironing easier and also reduces static cling in synthetic fibres. After spin drying, clothes are marginally drier when fabric conditioner has been used in the wash. Starch Remove the wash load from the machine as usual at the end of the programme. [. . . ] Wet the material surrounding the stain with cold water - this prevents the stain from spreading and developing a clearly defined ring round the edge. Then if the garment is washable it should be washed as soon as possible. Use normal detergent or biological detergent if the stains are caused by blood or food. If the stain is not removed by washing then special stain removing chemicals can be applied. [. . . ]
