SOME WASHING HINTS
First of all it is advisable not to keep the soiled
laundry for too long before washing it, especially if it
is damp (it is likely to go mouldy or to get a musty
smell).
Sort your laundry
Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the
symbols used on clothes labels.
The following points are particularly important:
a
line
under the bowl means that the garment cannot
be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics as
cotton and linen;
do not mix coloured garments with whites;
anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be
treated as synthetics;
non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain
materials should be treated as delicate fabrics;
the wool washing programme is designed specifically
for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool
mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed.
Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately
after washing.
Prewash
Prewash is usually not needed. You may use it in
case of very soiled laundry, such as garments used
by butchers or workmen.
Temperatures
It is advisable to wash white fabrics at a temperature
of 60°C and not of 95°C. If the laundry is only lightly
soiled, this temperature will be fully sufficient and will
allow you to save a lot of electrical power.
It is enough to wash at 40°C the colour-resistant
fabrics, which resist a maximum temperature of 60°C.
When washing together dark and light coloured
items, temperature should not exceed 40°C.
White
and
light-coloured
synthetic
fabrics
may
usually be washed at a temperature of 60°C, but in
this case 40°C will be enough if the laundry is not too
soiled.
Dark coloured synthetic fabrics, delicate fabrics and
wool must be washed at a temperature below 40°C. If
in some label a temperature of 30°C is recom¬
mended, select 30°C for the whole washing. An
article of this kind may mostly be washed at 40°C,
but the Manufacturer cannot run the risk of damaging
delicate garments. Any choice is up to the user.
You are personally responsible for eventual damage
caused by a wrong choice (too high temperature).
Among international symbols for the treatment of
fabrics there may still be found a temperature of 50°C
(British) and of 70°C (American). In these two cases,
it is possible to wash the item in question at a
temperature of 60°C.
This washing-machine, as has already been said,
also has a "cold wash" programme. Nevertheless, it
must be taken into account that detergents are not
very suitable for this kind of washing. Moreover, in
winter, since the water is very cold, they do not easily
dissolve.
Load
The laundry should always be weighed.
As far as cotton and linen are concerned (white and
coloured fabrics), you must not load more than 5 kg
of dry laundry.
Not more than 2 kg of synthetic fabrics and not more
than 1 kg of wool.
Since it is difficult to weigh the laundry, it is advisable
to follow a different method:
■ Cotton, linen,
mixed linen: drum full, without
pushing.
■ Resistant synthetics: not more than two thirds of
the drum.
■ Delicate fabrics and wool: not more than half of the
drum.
Before loading the machine
Before washing,
mend tears,
holes and frayed
threads.
Fasten or remove loose buttons.
Close poppers and zips.
Avoid washing frayed garments and mend the hems
before washing.
Before washing empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside. Nails, pins, buckles
and alike may cause serious damage to the machine
and to the garments.
Remove the hooks which fasten the curtains.
Wash new coloured items alone, especially if dark-
coloured, because when washing for the first time
they are very likely going to discolour.
Before washing, treat difficult stains (such as those of
grass, rust, coal tar, paint, biro) with a stain-remover.
If, for instance, to remove a stain paint you use a
volatile cleaning fluid such as turpentine or alike,
before washing the item in question you must wait for
the product to evaporate.
The Manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for
damage or harm caused by the use of volatile,
inflammable or toxic products.
