Special stains
Felt-tip and ball-tip pens:rub it with a cloth
soaked in alcohol.
Candle wax: cover the stain with blotting
paper and iron over it at a temperature sui-
table for the cloth. Repeat the operation if
necessary.
Resin,grease and skin cream: clean it with
a petroleum-based stain remover and then
wash the garment.
Tar:rub butter into it, leave it for a while to
take effect,and then wash the garment.
Blood,milk and egg: soak the stain in cold
water and then was the garment with an
enzyme-enriched detergent at a tempera-
ture from 50ºC to 60ºC,providing that the
garment can be washed at this temperatu-
re.
Fruit,coffee and wine: these stains usually
disappear after a few washes.
Should you have a stain which cannot be
washed or which is particularly critical,ask
a specialist for advice.But whatever you do,
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IN
THIS WASHING MACHINE.
Practical tips for loading garments into
the drum
– Whenever it is possible for you to do so,
it is recommendable to put the maxi-
mum load into your washing machine.
This will reduce the water and energy
consumption considerably.
– Whenever you are washing very dirty
garments or any soft, fluffy items
(towels,etc.), we would advise you to
put in less than the recommended load
– We recommend you to always load gar-
ments of different sizes together in the
same wash.This reinforces the action of
the wash,favours an even distribution of
items inside the drum for the spin dry,
thereby making the washing machine
work more silently.
General washing tips
–When washing garments together
whose recommended washing tempe-
ratures are different,you must always
choose the lowest temperature.
–In general,bleaches can only be used
for washing resistant white cloths such
as cotton,linen, etc.
–Select the Delicate Programmes for
washing,synthetic, mixed and delicate
fibres,as this will prevent creases which
are difficult to iron out.
–It is recommendable to end the
Delicate and Very Delicate
Programmes with a short spin cycle,
which will make the rinses more effi-
cient, and the water will be more tho-
roughly wrung out from the garments.
General tips
Maintenance
Before any cleaning or maintenance opera-
tion, it is advisable to disconnect the was-
hing machine from the mains.
Cleaning
After each time you use the washing
machine, leave the loading door open so
that air can circulate freely around the insi-
de of the machine.
From time to time it is a good idea to carry
out a complete Washing Cycle using a deli-
ming product.This will lengthen your was-
hing machine’s working life.
Cleaning the outside
To clean the outside of the washing machi-
ne,use lukewarm soapy water, or any mild
cleaning agent which is neither an abrasive
nor a solvent. Then wipe it down with a
clean cloth.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
Whenever any residues of any washing
product can be seen in the DETERGENT
DRAWER, it is time for it to be cleaned,
which should be done as follows:
1.- Detach the drawer from the machine by
pulling the flap outwards.
