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 removing 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).
Laundry not suitable for drying Garment labels • Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried. • Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff. • Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.

9. Remove the laundry from the drum. The different type of cottons (towelling, sheets, shirts, and so on) or any laundry items rolling up during the spinning phase may result in partial dryness. In the exceptional case that at the end of the cycle the laundry remains slightly wet, we suggest that you un- fold the rolled up items, redistribute them evenly in the drum and select an additional drying cycle of 20-30 minutes.
Fluff in the fabrics During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING PHASE, certain types of fabric, such as sponge, wool, sweatshirt, could release fluff. The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle. This drawback increases with technical fabrics. To prevent the fluff in your clothes, it is recommended: • To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light colored fabrics (new sponge, wool, sweatshirt especially) and vice versa.
