THE NEW WASHING SYSTEM This new washing machine is the outcome of years of research. The leading-edge design and the quality of the production processes used to manufacture this product ensure it will give you many years of excellent service. [. . . ] A label is normally applied to garments giving information on how to clean them. A brief description of these labels is shown below. WASHING Machine wash at max. 30°C Hand wash Do not wash High temperature Less than 60°C Do not tumble dry Hot iron Warm iron Cool iron Do not iron Bleaching allowed IRONING Do not bleach BLEACHING DRY CLEANING Any solvent Any solvent except trichloroethylene Petroleum solvent and R113 Do not dry clean DRYING Attention!Therefore, empty all pockets and turn them inside out, remove rollers from curtains or put them in a string bag. • Put very small articles (belts, handkerchiefs, socks, bras with stiffeners, etc. ) into a white canvas bag. • Modern detergents and correct washing temperatures are generally sufficient to remove stains from fabrics. However, some stubborn stains, such as grass, fruit, egg, blood, rust and biro, should be pre-treated before washing. Depending on the type of fabric, many stain removers can be found in the shops. Stains should always be cleaned or diluted immediately as the older they get, the more difficult they are to remove. • Garments may be damaged if fabric care symbols are not observed. Wool – Only pure wool, identified by or with the label <<shrink-proof machine washable and dryable>> can be machine washed with the specific programme, other types of wool should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. 5. 2 OPENING THE DOOR The machine is fitted with a safety device that prevents the door from opening while it is working. Before opening the door, wait 1 or 2 minutes after the programme ends (“End” LED on) to allow the safety device to disengage. Make sure there is no water in the tub and that the drum is not moving. Open the door by pressing the “Open door” button on the front panel and pulling it open. Attention!• If the washing programme is interrupted, you will have to wait from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature of the water, before the door opens. The water may still be boiling if the washing cycle was performed at high temperatures. If there is still water inside the drum, do not open the door! 13 GB 5. 3 PREPARING THE WASHING Where possible, save electricity by washing full loads divided by type of fabric. For the first few times, weigh the loads of washing and then rely on your judgement. Average weights of common garments are shown below: 5. 4 LOADING THE WASHING 1. Open the door and load the washing taking care to distribute it uniformly, loosely and not packed into the drum; alternate large items with small ones if possible. The washing machine described in this manual can be loaded with up to 5kg of washing. Heavier loads will lead to unsatisfactory washing results and may cause the machine to work incorrectly. [. . . ] To do this, proceed as follows: • Remove the plug from the socket to disconnect the machine from the electrical power supply. • When screwing the inlet hose back on to the tap, make sure the filter is correctly positioned. 20 GB 7.
