Freggia WDIE14106 [22/64] Using the washing machine

Use a low-suds detergent and softener (if required) recommended for automatic

washing machines. Follow the dosage instructions written on the packet.

N.B. Too much detergent can produce excessive suds and may result in a poor

wash. Too little detergent will produce an unsatisfactory wash.

N.B. When adding detergent to the dispenser, remember to avoid any

spillage into the softener compartment, in that this would create a soapy

rinse and stain the fabrics white. Vice versa, if softener is added to the

detergent compartment, the quality of the wash will be compromised.

N.B. When using a liquid detergent (recommended for programmes without

pre-wash) proceed as follows: remove the ba e from its housing at the front

of compartment 2 and insert it in the guides near the centre of the same

compartment.

• close the detergent drawer before starting the wash.

Warning! Do not attempt to remove the detergent drawer while the

washing machine is in operation, as this will cause water to  ow out.

HOW TO ELIMINATE STAINS

Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of stain by hand,  rst

try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start 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 to adopt for removing stains are reported

below.

• Wax: Scrape the wax using a rounded 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 stain.

• Ball point pens and felt-tip pens: clean using a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. Take care not to spread the

stain.

• Damp and mould: if the fabric supports the use of bleach, carry out a wash cycle adding bleach. Otherwise,

soak the soiled part in hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.

• Light scorch marks left by ironing: follow the instructions for mould and damp.
