FLUFF IN THE GARMENTS

During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING PHASE, certain types of fabric, as sponge- cloth, wool, sweatshirt, could release fluff. The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle. This drawback increases with technical fabrics. To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is recommended: + To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light colored fabrics {new sponge, wool, sweatshirt especial- ly) and vice versa. To air-dry this type of fabrics when they are washed the first time. To clean the filter. Perform one or more rinse cycles to wash the drum between the washing and drying of fabrics with different col- os. + After the drying phase, thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet rag

Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels. Do not wash together white and col- oured items. Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first times. Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts Empty the pockets and unfold the items. Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustra- tions. Remove hard stains. Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains. Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a wash- ing bag or pillowcase Do not wash in the appliance — Laundry without hems or with cuts — Underwired bras. — Use a washing bag to wash small items. A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. lfthis oc- curs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again. STUBBORN STAINS For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient. We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the ap- pliance. Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applica- ble to the type of stain and fabric. Water hardness table ENGLISH 21

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Only use detergents and additives spe- cially made for washing machines. Do not mix different types of deter- gents. To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of deter- gent. Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products. Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the pro- gramme temperature and the level of soil. If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball WATER HARDNESS the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener. To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products. Equivalent scales measure the water hard- ness: + German degrees (°dH). + French degrees (°TH) + mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna- tional unit for the hardness of water). + Clarke degrees.
