ARGHERITA
What goes in your washer-dryer?
Before washing, you can do a great deal for better results. Divide your garments
according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their indications and
alternate small items with large ones.
Before washing.
Divide your washing according to
the type of fabric and colour
resistance: sturdy fabrics should
be separated from delicate ones.
Light colours should be separated
from dark ones.
Empty all pockets (coins, paper,
money and small obejects) and
check the buttons. Mend
immediately or remove loose
buttons as they could fall off
during the wash cycle.
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, for preventing
problems and for lengthening the
life of your appliance. After
loading your washing and
pouring in the detergent together
with any additives, always check
that:
1. The door is correctly shut.
2. The plug is inserted in the
socket.
3. The water tap is open.
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
O, set the temperature using
knob B, make sure knob C is in
the required position and, if
necessary, use buttons F, G, H
and I and then press on/off
button L (position ON).
After installing your new washer-dryer, start a
wash cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.
For more delicate
garments:
protect underwear,
tights and stockings
and delicate items by
placing them in a
canvas pouch
Dividing your
garments according to
fabric and colour, is
very important for
good results
Remember that, if you want to
use it, the "programmed start"
should be set before the wash
cycle.
At the end of the wash cycle...
Lamp M will flash quickly for a
few seconds, then it will begin
flashing more slowly.
Then turn Margherita off by
pressing on-off button L (OFF
position).
You can now open the washer-
dryer door safely. After having
removed the freshly cleaned
washing, leave the door open or
ajar so that the humidity left
inside can evaporate.
Always close the water tap.
Remember that, in the event
of a power failure, or should
the washer-dryer switch itself
off, the programme chosen will
be memorised.
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 way possible.
The table on page 6 shows you
all the secrets of the symbols
found on labels. Their
indications are a valuable guide
to a better wash and to longer
lasting clothes.
Big and small happily
together.
This washer-dryer has a special
electronic control device for
distributing the wash load
evenly: before the spin cycle
starts, this device allows the
washing to position itself as
uniformly as possible in the
drum, according to the type of
washing and initial positioning.
For this reason, even at top spin,
the washer-dryer does not vibrate
or make any noise.
