according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.

methyl alcohol.
Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
Mold 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.

Starting the washer
Starting your washing machine
in the right way is important for
the quality of your wash, to help
prevent future problems and
enhance life expectancy of your
appliance. Once you have
loaded your washing machine
and added the detergent
together with any fabric
conditioner, always check that: 1. The door is closed correctly.
2. The plug is secured in the
socket.
3. The water supply is turned
on.
4. Selector knob A is positioned
on one of the symbols (Stop/
Reset).
Choose the desired programme
The programme is selected
according to the type of garments
that need to be washed. To choose
a programme, refer to the table on
page 4. Turn knob A until the
selected programme is aligned
with the mark on the knob, turn
knob B to the desired temperatu-
re settings, check that knob C is
in the desired position, if
necessary use buttons E, F, G
and H, and lastly, press on/off
button I (
