To remove paint stains, for example, use a vola- tile substance such as turpentine: in this case, you should wait for it to dry completely before washing.

The manufacturer of your washing machine is not responsible for any damage deriving from the use of volatile, inflammable or toxic substances.

At the end of the washing

Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possi- ble after finishing the wash.

Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away from direct sunlight.

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 damage the delicate ecological balance of nature.

Always use good quality detergents suitable for use in washing machines.

Follow the indications given by the detergent manufacturer according to the weight of laundry, the degree of soil and the hardness of the water in your area; if you do not know how hard it is, ask your local Water Authority.

Powder detergents.

The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the programme. Special detergents are availaible for coloured and delicate fabrics and for wool.

Liquid detergents

Using the new automatic dispenser for liquid detergents, it is possible to use a liquid detergent for main wash phases if you start the washing machine immediately.

Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder detergents particularly for lightly soiled laundry and for medium or low temperature washing programmes, while it is better to use a powder detergent for high temperature washing programmes.

Liquid additives

Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must be poured into the compartment of the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the programme.

The addition of water softener is particularly useful when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after washing to avoid a static charge.

Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAX level.

Bleach

You may use a bleach agent in all the washing programmes. However, make sure that the fabric withstands the treatment. Bleach is automatically washed down into the drum. Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl bleach into compartment "" before switching the machine on.

Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAX level.

"Concentrated" powder detergents

Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the main wash () compartment.

Avoid selecting programmes including prewash when concentrated detergents are used.
