Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the
laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, deli-
cates, woollens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their whiteness in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and
detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to
washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent
then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover,
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat
several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the
garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust re-
moving product used cold. Be careful with rust stains
which are not recent since the cellulose structure will
already have been damaged and the fabric tends to
hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone

, lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks
with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat
with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual
marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone

, then with acetic acid; treat any re-
sidual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of de-
tergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste
and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substan-
ces which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate
balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fab-
ric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)
and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature
wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric,
or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the
appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer be-
fore starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without pre-
wash must be selected.
