3. PRACTICAL TIPS

Load tips

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

• have eliminated metallic objects such as barrettes, pins, coins, from laundry;
• to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
• to have removed rollers from curtains;
• to have carefully read clothing washing labels;

• to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid centrifuging.
  ●●To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed and marked by the "Pure virgin wool" symbol with the "Does not mat" or "Machine washable" label.

Helpful suggestions for the user

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size.
  Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

● For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.
  Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling.

Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. The washing machine does not require any special care for ordinary cleaning: clean drawer compartments and the filter; some tips on how to move the machine or on long periods of disuse are provided below.

● The washing machine comes with a special filter able to trap large residue, such as buttons or coins, which could clog the drain.
● Only available on certain models: pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.
● Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry.
● Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop in the vertical position.
