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).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),

lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat

stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual

marks from white fabrics 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 (*), then with acetic acid; treat any

residual 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.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of

detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid

waste and protect the environment. Although

biodegradable, detergents contain substances

which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate

balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of

fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour

fastness, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents

may be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)

and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of

fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in

the appropriate compartments of the dispenser

drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using compact (concentrate) or liquid detergents, a

programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation

system which allows an optimal use of the

concentrate detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer

compartment marked

programme.

Concentrate and liquid detergent can also be

measured into the specially designed dosing

device/ball which should be placed on top of the

laundry and at the back of the machine drum.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be

poured into the compartment marked

starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer's recommendations

on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»

mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The quantity of detergent will depend on the load

size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water

used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called "degrees" of

hardness. Information on hardness of the water in

your area can be obtained from the relevant water

supply company.

Follow the product manufacturers' instructions on

quantities to use.

Not enough washing powder causes:

– the washload to turn gray,

– greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder causes:

– sudsing,

– reduced agitation and washing effect,

– inadequate rinsing,

Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,

– the laundry is lightly soiled,

– large amounts of foam form during washing.
