• Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains with a suitable detergent before putting in drum. • Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase. • 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. ). • A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. If this occurs: - interrupt the programme and open the door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter); -manually redistribute the load so that the items are spaced evenly around the tub; -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. • Empty the pockets and unfold the items. 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. 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. 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 for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization, - liquid 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. 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. 24
