    							Washing hints
    Sorting the laundry
    Follow the wash code symbols on each
    garment label and the manufacturer’s
    washing instructions. Sort the laundry as
    follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics,
    delicates, woollens.
    Temperatures
    Before loading the laundry
    Never wash whites and coloureds
    together. Whites may lose their
    “whiteness” in the wash.
    New coloured items may run in the first
    wash; they should therefore be washed
    separately the first time.
    Make sure that no metal objects
    are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
    clips, safety pins, pins).
    Button up pillowcases, close zip
    fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
    belts or long tapes.
    Remove persistent stains before
    washing. 
    Rub particularly soiled areas with a
    special detergent or detergent paste.
    Treat curtains with special care. Remove
    hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
    Maximum loads
    Recommended loads are indicated in
    the programme charts.
    General rules:
    Cotton, linen:drum full but not too
    tightly packed;
    Synthetics:drum no more than half full;
    Delicate fabrics and woollens:drum
    no more than one third full.
    Washing a maximum load makes the
    most efficient use of water and energy.
    For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the
    load size.
    Laundry weights
    The following weights are indicative:
    Removing stains
    Stubborn stains may not be removed by
    just water and detergent. It is therefore
    advisable to treat them prior to washing.
    Blood:treat fresh stains with cold water.
    For dried stains, soak overnight in water
    with a special detergent then rub in the
    soap and water.
    95°
    for normally soiled white
    cottons and linen (e.g. tea
    cloths, towels, tablecloths,
    sheets...)
    60°
    for normally soiled, colour
    fast garments (e.g. shirts,
    night dresses, pyjamas....) in
    linen, cotton or synthetic
    fibres and for lightly soiled
    white cotton (e.g.
    underwear).
    30°-40°
    (cold)
    for delicate items (e.g. net

    Oil based paint:moisten with benzine

    cloth and dab the stain; treat several
    times.
    Dried grease stains:moisten with
    turpentine, lay the garment on a soft
    surface and dab the stain with the
    fingertips and a cotton cloth.
    Rust:oxalic acid dissolved in hot water
    or a rust removing product used cold.
    Be careful with rust stains which are not
    recent since the cellulose structure will
    already have been damaged and the
    fabric tends to hole.
    Mould stains:treat with bleach, rinse
    well (whites and fast coloureds only).
    Grass:soap lightly and treat with bleach
    (whites and fast coloureds only).
    Ball point pen and glue:moisten with
    acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft
    cloth and dab the stain.
    Lipstick:moisten with acetone as
    above, then treat stains with methylated
    spirits. Remove any residual marks from
    white fabrics with bleach.
    Red wine: soak in water and detergent,
    rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,
    then rinse. Treat any residual marks with
    bleach.
    Ink:depending on the type of ink,
    moisten the fabric first with acetone (*),
    then with acetic acid; treat any residual
    marks on white fabrics with bleach and
    then rinse thoroughly.
    Tar stains:first treat with stain remover,
    methylated spirits or benzine, then rub
    with detergent paste.
    (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.Detergents and additives
    Good washing results also depend on
    the choice of detergent and use of the
    correct quantities to avoid waste and
    protect the environment. Although
    biodegradable, detergents contain
    substances which, in large quantities,
    can upset the delicate balance of nature.
    The choice of detergent will depend on
    the type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
    cottons, etc.), the colour, washing
    temperature and degree of soiling.
    All commonly available washing machine
    detergents may be used in this
    appliance:
     powder detergents for all types of
    fabric,
     powder detergents for delicate fabrics
    (60°C max) and woollens,
     liquid detergents, preferably for low
    temperature wash programmes (60°C
    max) for all types of fabric, or special
    for woollens only.
    The detergent and any additives must
    be placed in the appropriate
    compartments of the dispenser drawer
    before starting the wash programme.
    If using concentrated powder or liquid
    detergents, a programme without
    prewash must be selected.
    The washing machine incorporates a
    recirculation system which allows an
    optimal use of the concentrated
    detergent.
    Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser
    drawer compartment marked just
    beforestarting the programme.
    Any fabric softener or starching additives
    must be poured into the compartment
    marked  before starting the wash
    programme.
    192999781.qxd  11/3/2009  9:03 AM  Page 18
     
    						
    							Follow the product manufacturer’s
    recommendations on quantities to use
    and do not exceed the «MAX» mark
    in the detergent dispenser drawer.
    Quantity of detergent to be used
    The type and quantity of detergent will
    depend on the type of fabric, load size,
    degree of soiling and hardness of the
    water used.
    Water hardness is classified in so-called
    “degrees” of hardness. Information on
    hardness of the water in your area can
    be obtained from the relevant water
    supply company, or from your local
    authority.
    Follow the product manufacturers’
    instructions on quantities to use.
    Use less detergent if:
     you are washing a small load,
     the laundry is lightly soiled,
     large amounts of foam form during
    washing.
