HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

SORTING OUT THE LAUNDRY

Follow the wash code symbols on each

garment label and the manufacturer’s

washing instructions. Sort the laundry as

follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, deli-

cates, woollens.

TEMPERATURES

95° or 90°

for normally soiled white cot-

tons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,

towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

60°/50°

for normally soiled, colour fast

garments (e.g. shirts, night

dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,

cotton or synthetic fibres and

for lightly soiled white cotton

(e.g. underwear)

40°-30°-

Cold

for delicate items (e.g. net cur-

tains), mixed laundry including

synthetic fibres and woollens

bearing the label «pure new

wool, machine washable, non-

shrink»

BEFORE LOADING THE LAUNDRY

Never wash whites and coloureds together.

Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the

wash.

New coloured items may run in the first

wash; they should therefore be washed

separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are

left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety

pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,

hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long

tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special

detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove

hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Good washing results also depend on the

choice of detergent and use of the correct

quantities to avoid waste and protect the

environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain

substances which, in large quantities, can

upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the

type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,

etc.), the colour, washing temperature and

degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine

detergents may be used in this appliance:

• powder detergents for all types of fabric

• powder detergents for delicate fabrics

(60°C max) and woollens

• liquid detergents, preferably for low tem-

perature wash programmes (60°C max)

for all types of fabric, or special for wool-

lens only.

The detergent and any additives must be

placed in the appropriate compartments of

the dispenser drawer before starting the

wash programme.

Prewash detergent is to be added

straight into the drum

If using liquid detergents, a programme

without prewash must be selected. Pour

the liquid detergent into the detergent com-
