Preparing the wash cycle

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen:

drum full but not too tightly packed;

Synthetics:

drum no more than half full

;

Delicate fabrics and woollens:

drum no more than one third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore
advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood:

treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in

water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint

:: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft

cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains:

moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft

surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
