When the selected programme is over, the washing machine stops automatically. The timer knob stops on the position "I" by a spinning phase (for the cotton and linen programmes) or by a rinse hold (for the synthetics and wool programmes). You can end these programmes with a spinning (by setting the timer on the programme 6) or with a draining (by setting the timer on the programme 12). Please depress the ON/OFF pushbutton before doing your choice. Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 6). The following points are particularly important : a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; do not mix coloured garments with whites; anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics; the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing. Pre-wash Pre-wash is not normally necessary. Your new washing machine combined with modern detergents will give perfect washing results without pre-wash, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. 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. 6 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. [. . . ] Important : do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. It is advisable, from time to time, to carry out a complete cycle without a washing load, adding a decalcifying product. fig. 1 fig. 2 The detergent dispenser The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove. Just turn the two screws 1/4 of a turn and slide the box towards the top (fig. 1 and fig. 2). Clean the detergent dispenser under running water with a brush or a piece of rag (fig. 3). [. . . ]
