measure of detergent into the main wash com-
partment and start the machine.

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
Important! Make sure
that no metal objects
are left in the laundry
(e.g. hair clips, safety
pins, pins). Button up pil-
lowcases, close zip fas-
teners, hooks and pop-
pers. Tie any belts or
long tapes. Remove any
hooks (e.g curtains).
• 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.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special deter-
gent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the bag or a
net.
Remove stubborn stains before washing:
Blood : treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special deter-
gent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint : moisten with benzine stain remov-
er, 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

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 re-
sidual marks with bleach.
Ink : depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone

sidual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.

spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
