WASHING GUIDE 6.1. Sorting and preparing your washing · Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see chapter 6.4: International symbols for care of textiles): normal wash for strong washing that can resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash for delicate washing that should be treated more carefully. For mixed loads composed of articles of different types of fibers, choose a program and temperature suitable for the most fragile fiber. Wash white washing and color washing separately. Otherwise, the white washing may be colored or look gray. New clothes very often have too much color. Preferably wash new clothes separately for the first time. Respect "wash separately" and "wash several times separately" care instructions. Empty pockets and spread out the washing. Take off all loose buttons, pins and hooks and eyes. Close zip fasteners, tie knots in laces and straps. Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.), colored hosiery and wool and textiles with add-on decorations, inside out. Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a washing net. Treat curtains with special care. Remove curtain hooks and put net curtains in a net bag or a sachet. 6.3. Detergents and additives Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect section 4.2.2. Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents should be poured either in the proportioning bowl directly in the drum, or in the wash compartment provided that the washing machine is started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses must be put into the wash compartment of the detergents dispenser in your washing machine. The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the washing is. If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly. Increase the doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained. You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your water. · · · · · 6.4. International symbols for care of textiles · · 6.2. Washing load depending on the nature of the material The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of your washing machine. This capacity may vary depending on the nature of your textiles. Reduce the quantity of washing if it is very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials. Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled: · · · completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen, and for mixed washe, half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers, about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains and wool. For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate material. 6 7. CARE AND CLEANING Do not do any cleaning operation until you have unplugged the washing machine. 7.4. The drain filter Clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine regularly. The "filter"* light comes on if the filter is blocked. In this case clean it immediately. If you wash washing that is very fluffy, clean it after each wash. Open the flapdoor covering the filter by pressing the left side of the filter door. 7.1. Descaling the washing machine Normally there is no need to descale the washing machine if the detergent was correctly proportioned. If descaling is necessary, use a special non-corrosive product specially designed for washing machines that you can find in the shops. Respect the proportion and frequency of descaling shown on your packaging. 7.2. The surface Clean the surface of your washing machine using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Never use alcohol, solvents or similar products. Place a container underneath to catch any spillage. According ot the models, complete the drain of the appliance by taking away the cap and by extracting the little hose located on the left of the filter. 7.3. The detergents dispenser From time to time, you must clean the detergents dispenser in order to eliminate the possible wastes of the detergents and then to avoid an operating problem. The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a light cleaning. Disassembly: Turn the filter anticlockwise and clean it thoroughly with running water. Refit the filter in the guides and turn it clockwise. Refit the little hose ans the cap, then close the flapdoor. Just turn the two screws 1/4 of a turn and slide the box towards the top. Clean the detergent dispenser under running water with a brush or a piece of rag. Reassembly : Reposition the detergent dispenser into the lid and refix the two screws. *depending on model 7 8.
