methyl alcohol.
Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then

Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.
Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the
garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.

Important: to cancel the wash programme you have just set, select one of the symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait for at least 5 seconds.
The data found in the table is purely indicative, and can vary according to the quantity and type of washing, the water system temperature and
the room temperature.
Special programme
Daily wash Your washer has a programme available for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.
By setting programme 8 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a
maximum load of 3 kg. This programmes allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes. We recommend the
use of liquid detergent.

Easy Care and Maintenance
Treat your machine well and it will provide
many years of trouble free service
Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it
in shape.
Your washing machine is
designed to provide reliable
service over many years. A few
simple steps will help to prolong
its life and avoid problems. It is
advisable, to turn off water taps
when the machine is not to be
used, this protects the hoses,

the detergent dispenser
regularly.
To prevent dried washing

accumulating, place the
dispenser under running
water for a few minutes.
etc.
If the water in your area is too
hard, use a deliming product
Never exaggerate with doses.
Normal detergents already
contain deliming agents. Only if
the water is particularly hard,
that is, rich in lime content, do
we recommend the use of a
specific product at every wash.
A periodical wash cycle with a
dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or washing,
may prove useful.
(water is hard if it often leaves
whitish stains around taps or
drains, especially of bath tubs.
For more accurate information as
to the type of water in your
system, call the local water
works or a local plumber).
Pockets must always be
emptied removing even pins,
badges and any other hard
object.
Never use too much detergent
or additives because this could
cause an excess amount of
foam, scaling and possible
damage to the component parts
of your washing machine.
The washing machine exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can
cause damage to your washer.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small
objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible
damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.
Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first
ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty.
Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at
the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place
a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch
the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anti-
clockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced.

Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into
the slots and ease the top edge back into position.
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing machine,
water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
