9. Tips and Advice
Always try to check the recommendations on the
label of the clothes before washing or drying them, to
prevent damage.
Some types of fabrics may shrink during drying.
White and colored clothes should be washed
separately to prevent transfer of colorants between
pieces, staining them.
To check if clothes discolor, soak a part of the clothes,
place a piece of white fabric on the wet area and iron.
If the fabric color stains the white fabric, it discolors.
Wash and/or dry only fabrics that can be washed in
washing/dryer machines, following the instructions on
clothing labels.
Woolen clothes may deform if the drying time is too
long.
Do not use bleach on wool, silk, leather and lycra-
elastane clothes, to prevent damage.
Wash and dry cotton and linen fabrics separately from
clothes made of synthetic material (nylon, elastane...)
because each type of fabric requires a different
cleaning and drying.
Do not use chemical products intended for dry
washing.
Do not use the washing machine for starch clothes.
When you leave the house for a long time, it is
recommended to turn the machine OFF from the socket
and turn the faucet OFF.
For best performance of the machine and to prevent
damage to clothes, it is always recommended to put
the heavy and/or bulky clothes underneath.
WARNING
Remove objects from pockets (nails, toothpicks, pins, clips,
screws, coins, etc.) They can cause serious damage to washing
machine and the clothes and may result in loss of warranty.
Put small items in appropriate bags or pillowcases, to prevent
damage.
Close push buttons and zippers so they cannot be damaged and
not engage in other clothes. Reinforce or remove loose buttons.
It is recommended not to wash clothes and blankets of pets,
because the excess of hair can damage the machine.
It is recommended to repair or remove damaged pieces from
the washing machine so they are not further damaged.
To wash curtains, tie the part that contains the wheels and / or hooks in a bag suitable for
washing clothes, thus eliminating the need to remove them.
Stain Removal
It is possible that certain stains are not removed
with soap and water. It is therefore advisable to take
special care before washing.
Blood: Rinse with cool water, apply oxygen water
(volume 10) on the stain and wash normallly.
Oil: Apply talcum powder on the stain, wait for a few
minutes, remove excess powder and wash normally.
Rust: Apply a mixture of salt and lemon or specific
products intended for use against rust, leave it for
a few minutes and wash normally. In old stains the
fabric structure may have been attacked and tear
more easily.
Mustiness: For white clothing resistant to chlorine,
wash with bleach. For colored clothes not resistant
to chlorine, rinse the stained area with milk.
Ballpoint ink: Place the stained area on an absorbent
tissue, moisten with acetone (except rayon) or
alcohol, rub with brush and wash normally.
Lipstick: Apply acetone (except rayon) or alcohol
on the stain, leave it for several minutes and wash
normally.
Protecting the Environment
If you have to wash fewer clothes, load only the correct
amount of water using the WATER LEVEL key. Reuse
the water from washing and rinsing for other cleaning
services such as floors and sidewalks. For this, just
direct the drain hose to the tank, leaving it closed. Avoid
putting too much soap so that the rinse does not repeat
unnecessarily.
