USE OF DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES Which detergent to use? To ensure you get the best possible wash results from your machine, it is important to use the correct powder or liquid according to the wash load type. To maintain the appearance of your clothes, it is advisable to use different detergents for different washes whether for whites, coloureds or delicates.

Washing tips Stain removal What not to wash in your appliance? The most common stains will disappear during the wash. If they are particularly stubborn, soak the garment in water and rub a little detergent onto the stain before putting it in the washing machine. Greasy marks (especially old ones) need treating with a stainremover. Be careful not to mark the fabric with remover.
Energy saving hints - Try to wash complete laundry loads: this saves unnecessary consumption of water and energy. - Select the right programme for your laundry: this will obviously depend on the type of fabric and how soiled your laundry is; we recommend the use of programmes without prewash which will save you time, water and energy. The prewash cycle should in fact be used only for heavily soiled, cotton fabrics.
Removing limescale Water contains increasing amounts of limescale because of pollution. If you live in a hard water area in addition to using water-softener in each wash, it is a good idea to put the machine through a cycle without laundry or detergent, just using limescale remover. Trouble shooting If the machine does not seem to be working properly before calling the service engineer there are a number of things you can check.

Keep the packaging components (plastic bags, polyester foam, nails etc.) out of the reach of children since they could be dangerous.
