the machine off .
1) This programme at the temperature of 60° with the option ECONOMY selected, is the reference programme for the data
entered in the energy label, in compliance with EEC 92/75 standards. It can be selected for slightly or normally soiled cotton
items. The temperature will decrease and the washing time will be extended. This allows to obtain a good washing efficiency so
saving energy.
2) If you select the Breve option by pressing button 3, we recommend that you reduce the maximum load as indicated. Full
loading is possible however with somewhat reduced cleaning results.
3) This option is not active at a temperature lower than 40° C.
4) If using liquid detergents, a programme without PREWASH must be selected.
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 fin-
gertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust remov-
ing 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
1)
, 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
1)
, 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.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
