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
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 coincides
with the pointer situated on the
upper part of glass L, set the tem-
perature using knob B and, if
necessary, use buttons D, E and
F and then press on/off button G
(position ON).
After installing your new washing machine, start a
wash cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.

placing them in a
canvas pouch

garments according to
fabric and colour, is
very important for
good results

the socket and turn off the water
supply.

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.

garment and how to wash it in
the best possible way.

together.

electronic control device for even
