Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.
Only wool marked "Pure New Wool - washable,
preshrunk" can be washed in the machine using the
wool programme; other types of wool should be
washed by hand or dry cleaned.
lf you have used the machine to wash, rinse or
spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be
dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent
wash
is not contaminated with the dye, select
and
carry
out a rinse
and
spin
programme,
without any garments, to ensure that any dye is
removed from the sump.
When drying always load well spun laundry. The
higher the spin speed the lower is electric energy
consumption during drying and the shorter is the
drying time.
Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too
long before drying.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.
If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy,
any subsequent ironing may become more difficult
because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is compieted,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturers' labeis.
fs] Drying at high temperature

Ky Do not tumble dry
Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water taps.
