TABLE OF PROGRAMMES PROGRAMME SELECTOR ON: PROGRAM FOR: WEIGHT MAX kg TEMP.
Programme selector For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and lenght of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes). COTTONS The Cotton programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
DRYING Note: Dispensers used for concentrated powders and liquid detergents must be removed from the drum before commencing the tumble drying programmes. The drum changes direction during the drying cycle to prevent the laundry from tangling and hence produce even drying. Cool air is used during the last ten minutes of the drying cycle to minimise creasing. LOW HEAT Low temperature drying programme for synthetics and mixed fibres, always refer to the care label.
Dosages Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents - - Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach.
Useful advice for users Main wash Sorting the laundry - It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items. - If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
The correct way to wash DRYING Preparing the laundry A) Select the laundry. DON’T DRY GARMENTS MADE FROM FOAM RUBBER OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Loading the laundry B) Open the porthole. C) Put the laundry in the washing machine. Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock.

Table of drying times (in minutes): PROGRAMME COTTON MIXED Min 1 Kg Max 4 Kg Min 1 Kg Max 3 Kg from 30’ from 30’ from 30’ to 230’ to 220’ to 170’ from 30’ from 30’ from 30’ to 170’ to 150’ to 80’ Cleaning and routine maintenance Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outside of your washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance: - Cleaning the drawer compartments. - Cleaning the filter. - Cleaning the door glass.
Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter. Cleaning the door glass Investigating malfunctions What might be the cause of… Defects you can remedy yourself MALFUNCTION CAUSE Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door.
Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects: - waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; - presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. - The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing.
