machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.Check that the machine does not touch the wallor other kitchen units.Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet inor out. Never place cardboard, wood or similarmaterials under the machine to compensate forany unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"thread.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects

to the machine can be turned in any direction.Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose andretighten the fitting, making sure there are nowater leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it istoo short and you do not wish to move the tap,you will have to purchase a new, longer hosespecially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned inthree ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using theplastic hose guide supplied with themachine. In this case, make sure the endcannot come unhooked when the machine isemptying.This could be done by tying it to the tap with apiece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch mustbe above the trap so that the bend is at least60 cm above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of notless than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be

ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drainpipe must be larger than the outside diameter ofthe drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it alongthe floor; only the part near the drainage pointmust be raised.

Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garmentlabel and the manufacturer’s washinginstructions.

Sort the laundry as follows:whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95° for normally soiled white cottons andlinen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,tablecloths, sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast

garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,pyjamas....) in linen, cotton orsynthetic fibres and for lightly soiledwhite cotton (e.g. underwear)

cold

30°-40°

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),mixed laundry including syntheticfibres and woollens bearing the label«pure new wool, machine washable,non-shrink».

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 thefirst time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left inthe laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rubparticularly soiled areas with a special detergentor detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooksor tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loadsRecommended loads are indicated in theprogramme charts.

General rules:

cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightlypacked

synthetics: drum no more than half full

delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no morethan one third full.

i Washing a maximum load makes the mostefficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 gnapkin 100 gquilt cover 700 gsheet 500 gpillow case 200 gtablecloth 250 gtowelling towel 200 gtea cloth 100 gnight dress 200 g

ladies’ briefs 100 gman’s work shirt 600 gman’s shirt 200 gman’s pyjamas 500 gblouse 100 gmen’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by justwater and detergent. It is therefore advisable totreat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For

dried stains, soak overnight in water with aspecial detergent then rub in the soap andwater.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stainremover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dabthe stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,lay the garment on a soft surface and dab thestain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rustremoving product used cold. Be careful with ruststains which are not recent since the cellulosestructure 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 (whitesand fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab thestain.

E N G L I S H

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, thentreat stains with methylated spirits. Remove anyresidual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinseand treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten thefabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;treat any residual marks on white fabrics withbleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,methylated spirits or benzine, then rub withdetergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on thechoice of detergent and use of the correctquantities to avoid waste and protect theenvironment. Although biodegradable,detergents contain substances which, in largequantities, can upset the delicate balance ofnature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the typeof fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), thecolour, washing temperature and degree ofsoiling.

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°Cmax) and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for lowtemperature wash programmes (60°C max)for all types of fabric, or special for woollensonly.

The detergent and any additives must be placedin the appropriate compartments of thedispenser drawer before starting the washprogramme.

If using concentrated powder or liquiddetergents, a programme without prewash mustbe selected.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawercompartment marked just before startingthe programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives mustbe poured into the compartment markedbefore starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’srecommendations on quantities to use.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will dependon the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling

and hardness of the water used.Water hardness is classified in so-called“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardnessof the water in your area can be obtained fromthe relevant water supply company, or from yourlocal authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructionson quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load

– the laundry is lightly soiled

– large amounts of foam form during washing.
