Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out 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.
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 stain remover product then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft 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 (white cottons and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (white cottons and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone ^1) , lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks 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 ^1) , 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.
Degrees of water hardness
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.
| Characteristic | Degrees of water hardness | |
| German °dH French °T.H. | ||
| Soft 0-7 0-15 | ||
| Medium 8-14 16-25 | ||
| Hard 15-21 26-37 | ||
| Very hard >21 >37 | ||
A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted (reduced) to degree of hardness soft.

The dangers of freezing
If the appliance is exposed to temperatures below 0^ C, certain precautions should be taken.
- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the inlet hose.
- Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.
- Screw the water inlet hose back on and re-position the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again.
- When you intend to start the appliance up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
Important! Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO VALVE device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next washing.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the appliance:
- pull out the plug from the power socket;
- close the water tap;
-
if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
-
open the pump door;
- place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;
- clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
- replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;

| The drain or inlet hose is damaged. | Replace it with a new one (check with the After Sales Service the right spare part number). | |
| The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced or the filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action. | Refit the cap on the emergency emptying hose or screw the filter fully in. | |
