Removal of Stains
It is possible that certain stains are not removed with
soap and water. It is therefore advisable special care
before washing.
• Blood: Rinse with cool water, apply oxygen water
(volume 10) on the stain and wash normallly.
• Oil: Apply talcum powder on the stain, wait a
few minutes, remove excess powder and wash
normally.
• Rust: Apply mixture of salt and lemon or specific
product against rust, leave it for a few minutes and
wash normally. In old stains the fabric structure
may have been attacked and tear more easily.
• Mustiness: For white clothing resistant to chlorine,
wash with bleach. For colored clothes and not
resistant to chlorine, rinse the stained area with
milk.
• Ballpoint ink: Place the stained area on absorbent
tissue, moisten with acetone (except rayon) or
alcohol, rub with brush and wash normally.
• Lipstick: Apply acetone (except rayon) or alcohol
on the stain, leave it for some minutes and wash
normally.

Protecting the Environment

If you have to wash fewer clothes, load only the
correct amount of water using the WATER LEVEL
key.
Reuse the water from washing and rinsing to other
cleaning services such as floors and sidewalks. To
do this, just press the "ECONOMY" key and direct
the water outlet hose to the tank or bucket.
To drain the water, press the "ECONOMY" key that
will blink. Avoid putting too much soap to not have
to rinse repeat unnecessarily.
