USING THE WASHING MACHINE HOW TO REMOVE SOME STAINS Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of stain by hand, first try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start from the edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring from forming around the site of the stain. A few methods to adopt for removing stains are reported below. WAX: Scrape the wax using a rounded point in order not to damage the fabric.
MAINTENANCE The washing machine has been designed to reduce maintenance to a minimum. However, it is important that you remember to clean it regularly. Before cleaning, make sure that the appliance has been disconnected from the power supply and that the water supply tap has been turned off. CLEANING THE WASHING MACHINE The external structure and the parts of the washing machine in plastic must be cleaned with a soft damp cloth only.

MAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE WASHING MACHINE MODEL: LSE 146 A Drying selection dial C Optional function buttons L Start button P Programme and temperature knob USING THE WASHING MACHINE “EASY LOGIC” TECHNOLOGY The Easy Logic II system automatically reduces the wash time and water and power consumption according to the amount of washing placed in the drum. The washing machine will automatically programme a half-load or incomplete load wash cycle without the need for any intervention.
USING THE WASHING MACHINE VARIABLE SPIN: Load imbalance check during spinning: This washing machine is fitted with a special electronic load balancing control system. Before each spin, the system makes sure that the clothes are distributed as uniformly as possible in the drum. If the washing is not distributed uniformly, the final spin speed is reduced for safety reasons, while if the load is drastically out of balance, the spin is not effected.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS SPIN EXCLUSION: When this button is pressed, the machine carries out a wash cycle and stops before spinning. The button lights up. DRYING: By turning this knob it is possible to select the length of drying, expressed in minutes, both in automatic mode (at the end of the wash cycle) and in manual mode (for hand-washed garments). (see table “RECOMMENDED DRYING QUANTITIES AND TIMES”). N.B.: The use of the optional functions depends on the type of programme selected.
