➘ Make sure that the voltage specified in the technical data,

written on the rating plate mounted on the inside of the

filter door, corresponds to the mains voltage [fig. 8].

➘ Trip-switches, electric wiring and mains sockets must pos-

sess characteristics that enable them to support the maxi-

mum load indicated on the rating plate.

➘ The mains socket to which the washing machine is con-

nected must be earthed. If not, the manufacturer will not be

held responsible for any incidents which may occur [fig. 9].

➘ If the mains socket to which the washing machine is con-

nected does not work or is unsuitable, it must be replaced

by a qualified electrician.

➘ The washing machine must not be connected to the mains

supply through intermediate devices such as extension

leads or multiple socket adapters.

➘ During maintenance work, the washing machine plug must

be disconnected from the mains supply.

➘ Never insert or remove the electric plug with wet hands.

➘ If the power cable is damaged in any way, please contact

the technical service department.

➘ Position the apparatus so that the plug can be accessed

and disconnected easily in case of need.

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS

Some stains cannot be removed by just washing in a washing machine. Before trying to

remove any type of stain by hand, first try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden

fabric starting from the edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring

from forming around the site of the stain. A few methods for removing stains are reported

below.

••

••

•

WAX:

scrape the wax using a blunt point in order not to damage the fabric. Then, with

the fabric placed between two pieces of absorbent paper, run a hot iron over the

stain.

••

••

•

BALL-POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS:

clean using a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol.

Take care not to spread the mark.

••

••

•

DAMP AND MOULD:

if the fabric supports the use of bleach, perform a wash cycle

adding bleach to the appropriate compartment in the dispenser [see table of

programmes]. Otherwise, soak the soiled part in hydrogen peroxide (strength 10)

and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.

••

••

•

SCORCH MARKS CAUSED BY IRONING:

follow the instructions for mould and damp.

••

••

•

RUST:

use products specially designed for rust stains, following the manufacturer’s

instructions written on the packet.

••

••

•

CHEWING GUM:

rub ice over the mark, scrape away as much as possible and then rub

with a cotton cloth soaked in acetone (alternatively, use nail varnish remover).

••

•

PAINT:

do not allow the paint to dry. Rub the area with the solvent recommended by
