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.

: 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

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.

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.
