To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile
substance such as turpentine: in this case, you
should wait for it to dry completely before washing.
The manufacturer of your washing machine is not
responsible for any damage deriving from the use
of volatile, inflammable or toxic substances.
At the end of the washing
Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible
after finishing the wash.
Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away
from direct sunlight.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice
of detergent and use of the correct quantities to
avoid waste and protect the environment. Although
biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which in large quantities can damage the delicate
ecological balance of nature.
Always use good quality detergents suitable
for use in washing machines.
Follow the indications given by the detergent ma-
nufacturer according to the weight of laundry, the
degree of soil and the hardness of the water in
your area; if you do not know how hard it is, ask
your local Water Authority.
Powder detergents
The washing powder should be placed in the
appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer
before starting the programme. Special detergents
are availaible for coloured and delicate fabrics and
for wool.
"Concentrated" powder detergents
Pour the concentrated powder detergent into the
main wash ( ) compartment.
Avoid selecting programmes including
prewash when concentrated detergents are
used.

Liquid detergents
It is possible to use a liquid detergent for main
wash phases if you use a ball-type packaging ball
and if you start the washing machine immediately
Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder
detergents particularly for lightly soiled laundry
and for medium or low temperature washing pro-
grammes, while it is better to use a powder
detergent for high temperature washing
programmes.
Liquid additives
Any liquid additives for softening the laundry must
be poured into the compartment
dispenser drawer before starting the programme.
The addition of water softener is particularly useful
when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after
washing to avoid a static charge.
Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds
the MAXI level.
Bleach
You may use a bleach agent on cotton program-
mes. However, make sure that the fabric withstands
the treatment. Bleach is automatically washed
down into the drum. Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl
bleach into compartment "
the machine on.
Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds
the MAXI level.
Thanks to the JETSYSTEM process which
allows to reduce your consumptions of water
and detergent products, use only the two
thirds of the adviced quantities by the detergent
producers on the packing.
