We found only one brand always lives up to our exacting standards and provides outstanding cleaning across a broad range of dirt and stains, as well as providing high levels of fabric care. MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the maximum loads shown below: Cotton and linen 4, 5 kg Mixed 2 kg Very delicate 1, 5 kg Wool 1 kg Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads. SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry. Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing. In this way it is also possible to obtain a "personalized" wash from an energy saving point of view. This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and a sensible reduction in washing times. The maximum load for heavy fabrics is 4, 5 kg, while, in the case of delicate fabrics, it is advisable not to exceed 2 kg (1 kg in the case of machine washable articles in "Machine Washable Woolens") so as to avoid the formation of creases which may be difficult to iron. Let us suppose that the washing consists of HEAVILY SOILED COTTON (tough stains should be removed with suitable stain removal). It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and become too heavy. EXAMPLE: The advice of Hoover is set out in the washing programme table: q Ensure that article labels carry the indication 60°C. [. . . ] The procedures for cleaning the filter are as follows: q The filter should be cleaned once a month. REMOVALS OR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFT STANDING For eventual removals or when the machine is left standing for long periods in unheated rooms, the drain hose should be emptied of all remaining water. Detach the drainage hose from the clamp and lower it over the bowl until all the water is removed.
