Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance.

listed below as a guide:

Tablecloth 400-500 g
Serviette 50-100 g
Tea towel 70-120 g
Linen hand towel 100-150 g
Towelling hand towel 150-250 g

nLoad the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
nSort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
nAvoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.
nBefore washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
nWhen washing curtains, remove the hooks.
nClose poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
nIt is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
nWhen washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
nWhite items should not be washed with coloured
items.
nVery small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
nUse a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
nUse the correct quantities of detergent.
nFor wool, use gentle detergent only in small
quantities.
nBleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
nSome stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.
nOnly wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable,
preshrunk” can be washed in the machine using the
wool programme; other types of wool should be
washed by hand or dry cleaned.
nIf you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.
nOnce you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water taps.

«JETSYSTEM» wash

As the Jetsystem is flexible and adjusts water intake
according to wash load size it is not possible to give you
exact recommandations as to the amount of detergent
that should be used for any one wash.
Therefore we recommend that you use approximately
1/3 less than the detergent manufacturer recommends on
the packet or bottle, making the appropriate allowances
for soft or hard water, and light or heavy soilage of
clothes. If you have judged the amount correctly you
should expect to see a soft sudsy liquid during the wash.
It is not necessary to have a head of lather on the water.
