4- Class A at 40°C
Your washing machine has a special programme to allow you to obtain optimum results even at low
temperatures. By setting programme 4 at a temperature of 40°C, the results you will obtain will be the same as you
would normally obtain at 60°C thanks to the washing machine's action and the length of the wash cycle.
8-
Daily wash at 30° in 30 minutes. Your washing machine has a programme designed to wash lightly soiled garments
in a short amount of time. By setting programme 8 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different fabrics together
(except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. This programme allows you to save on both time and
energy as it only lasts approximately 30 minutes. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF LIQUID DETERGENT.

- Red wine. Leave to soak with detergent, rinse and treat with acetic acid or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residue with
bleach.
- Blood. Fresh stains should be treated immediately with cold water. In the event of dry blood stains, leave to soak overnight
with a special detergent and then rub with soapy water.
- Dry grease stains. Moisten with turpentine, dab the stains with your fingertips and a cotton cloth, after placing the
garment on a soft surface.
- Rust. Oxysalt (can be found in a chemists) hot molten, or a cold anti-rust product. Old stains may have already damaged
the fabric: risk of holes
- Mould stains Treat with bleach, rinse thoroughly (only white and coloured garments resistant to chlorine).
- Oil paint. Moisten with detergent petrol, dab the stains after placing the garment on top of a soft cloth, then treat
repeatedly with the detergent.
- Ink and biro. Dab with cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
- Tar. Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
- Wax. Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or
methyl alcohol.
- Chewing gum. Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
- Mould. Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then
washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
- Lipstick. Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use trichlorethylene 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.
- Grass. Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

The washing machine 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.
To access this pre-chamber, just remove the panel covering the
bottom of the washing machine (fig. 1); then lift the cover rotating it
anti-clockwise (fig. 2) and check its contents accurately.
The rubber hose
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 hose could easily split open.

Fig. 2
Warning: make sure that the wash cycle has come to a full stop and unplug the appliance before removing the lid as well as before any
type of maintenance procedure. It is normal to find that a little water comes out after removing the lid. When replacing the panel, make
sure you insert the hooks situated at the bottom of the washing machine in the right slots before pushing it back against the appliance.
