[. . . ] You will hear a double "click" in the locking device when the cover opens. If you choose the rinse hold position*, the rinse hold light* illuminates to inform you that water has to be drained before you can open the cover. To terminate the cycle, you can then spin the washing by choosing the spinning programme or drain it by choosing the draining programme. Note: we recommend that you should leave the cover and the drum open after use to air the washing drum. *depending on model 6 4. PROGRAMS TABLE The following does not show all possibilities, but simply the most frequent settings. Program Washing type Load Possible options Temperatures °C COTTON + prewash COTTON White or color, for example normally dirty work clothes, bed linen, table linen, underwear, towels. SYNTHETICS Synthetic fabrics, underwear, color fabrics, noniron shirts, blouses. WOOL Machine washable wool marked «pure wool, washable in machine, non shrinking». EASY IRONING Rinse Hand washed washing may be rinsed with this program. The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the washing is. Increase the doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained. You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your water. · · · · · · · 5. 2. Washing load depending on the nature of the material The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of your washing machine. Reduce the quantity of washing if it is very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials. Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled: · · · completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen, and for mixed washe, half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers, about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains and wool. For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate material. 8 5. 4.
