The data refers to the highest temperature provided for each programme. The temperatures given in the programme tables are provided as a guide. You can vary them using the thermostat knob which equipped your washing machine. Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. 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. We suggest the use of liquid detergents. Sort your laundry. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 14). 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. How much laundry can be washed in one load? Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry. The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2, 5 kg and for wool, 1 kg. As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you to estimate the weight according to how full the drum is: cotton and linen : drum full not too tighty packed resistant synthetics : no more than 2/3 of the drum delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of the drum. Prewash Prewash is not normally necessary. Your new washing machine combined with modern detergents will give perfect washing results without prewash, 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 prewash with a biological detergent. Before placing the laundry in the machine: - mend all tears, holes and ladders; - secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips; - do not wash frayed garments - mend hems before washing; - remove all small objects from pockets. Nails, pins, clips and similar objects can seriously damage your washing machine and laundry; - remove curtain hooks; - wash coloured garments and in particular those with non-fast colours separately when washing for the first time. They are likely to lose colour the first time they are washed. [. . . ] With sprung floors, in particular wooden plank floors with yielding floor boards, screw down a waterproof wooden base at least 15 mm thick, across at least 2 floor boards. Wherever possible, place the appliance in the corner of the room there wooden floors are most secure and least liable to resonance vibrations. Never compensate for small unevennesses in the floor by placing wood, pasteboard or such like. The front adjustable feet must be blocked after installation of the appliance by means of the locking nuts. Levelling It is essential that your machine is absolutely level. [. . . ]
