What goes in your washer?
Before washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your
garments according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.
Before washing.
Divide your washing according to
the type of fabric and colour
fastness.
Empty all pockets (coins, paper,
money and small obejects) and
ensure all loose buttons are
repaired or removed prior to
loading.
How to eliminate the most common stains
Ink and biro Dab with a wad of 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.
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.
Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene 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.
Starting Margherita
Starting Margherita 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

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.

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
coincides with the pointer
situated on the upper part of glass
G, set all the options available
(flashing) as indicated on pages
3 and 4 (reference ), then press
button C (Start/Reset).
If you want to interrupt the
programme in progress, press
button C for at least 3 seconds.
After installing your new washing machine, start a
wash cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.
For more delicate
garments:

tights and stockings
and delicate items by
placing them in a
canvas pouch.

supply.
Remember that, in the event
of a power failure, or should
the washing machine switch
itself off, the programme
chosen will remain in its
memory.
The labels say it all.
Always look at the labels: they
tell you everything about your
garment and how to wash it in
the best possible way.

Big and small happily
together.
This washing machine has a special
electronic control device for even
distribution: before the spin cycle
starts, this device allows the
garments to positions themselves,
to minimise noise and vibrations
during the spin cycle.
