HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
16.1 The laundry load
· Divide the laundry into: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
· Follow the washing instructions on the laundry care labels.
· Do not wash white and coloured items together.
· Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first couple of times.
· Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside
out.
· Pre-treat stubborn stains. · Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent. · Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase. · A very small load
can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration.
If this occurs: a. interrupt the programme and open the
door (refer to “Daily Use” chapter); b. manually redistribute the load so that
the items are spaced evenly around the tub; c. press the Start / Pause button.
The spin phase continues. · Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts, cords,
shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose elements. · Do not wash laundry without
hems or with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
· Empty pockets and unfold the items.
16.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient. We recommend that you
pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance.
ENGLISH 45
Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
Do not spray stain remover on garments near the appliance as it is corrosive
to the plastic parts.
16.3 Detergent type and quantity
The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps to avoid waste and protect the environment:
· Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washing
machines. First, follow these generic rules: powder detergents (also tablets
and single-dose detergents) for all types of fabric, excluding delicate.
Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization, liquid detergents (also single-dose detergents) , preferably
for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or
special ones for woollens only.
· The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on: type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the load,
degree of soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used.
· Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or
other treatments without exceeding the
indicated maximum level (
).
· Do not mix different types of detergents.
· Use less detergent if:
you are washing a small load,
the laundry is lightly soiled,
there is large amounts of foam during
washing.
· When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in
the detergent dispenser and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations .
Insufficient detergent may cause: · unsatisfactory washing results, · the wash
load to turn grey, · greasy clothes, · mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause: · sudsing, · reduced washing effect, ·
inadequate rinsing, · a greater impact for the environment.
16.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that
you follow these tips:
· Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save
detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
· Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programmes
helps to reduce energy and water consumption.
· With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
· To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by
the detergent producer and check the water hardness of you domestic system.
Refer to ‘Water hardness’.
· Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected programme for saving
energy during drying phase!
16.5 Water hardness
If the water in your area is hard or medium hard, we recommend that you use a
water softener for washing machines.
The water is hard or medium hard when the hardness exceeds 8dH.
In areas where the water is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water
authority.
46 ENGLISH
Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
16.6 Prepare the drying cycle
· Open the water tap. · Check if the drain hose is connected
properly. Refer to installation chapter for more information. · For the
maximum laundry load of the drying programmes, refer to the drying programmes
table.
16.7 Items not suitable for drying
Do not set a drying programme for this laundry: · Synthetic curtains. · Pieces
of clothing with metal inserts. · Nylon stockings. · Quilts. · Bed covers. ·
Duvets. · Anoraks. · Sleeping bags. · Fabrics with residue of hair sprays,
nail
solvents or similar. · Garments with foam-rubber or materials
similar to foam-rubber.
16.8 Garment labels
When you dry the laundry, obey the indications on the labels of the
manufacturers:
· = The item can be tumble dried
· = The drying cycle is at high temperature
· = The drying cycle is at reduced temperature
· = The item can not be tumble dried.
16.9 Drying cycle duration
The drying time can change depending on: · speed of the last spin · dryness
level · type of laundry · weight of the load
16.10 Additional drying
If, at the end of the drying programme, the laundry is still damp, set a short
drying cycle again.
WARNING!
To avoid creasing and shrinkage do not overdry the laundry.
16.11 General Tips
Refer to the «Drying programmes» table to find the average drying times.
Experience will help you to dry the laundry better. Take note of the duration
of the cycles done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of the drying cycle:
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for tumble dryers.
When the drying programme is completed remove the laundry promptly.
17. CARE AND CLEANING
