Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.

Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.

Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.

When washing curtains, remove the hooks.

Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.

When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.

White items should not be washed with coloured
items.

Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.

Use the correct quantities of detergent.

For wool, use gentle detergent only in small
quantities.

Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.

Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.

Only wool marked «Pure New Wool - washable,
preshrunk» can be washed in the machine using the
wool programme; other types of wool should be
washed by hand or dry cleaned.

If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water taps.

To avoid an excessive and damaging amount of
lather when washing net curtains, it is advisable to
wash large curtains singularly and take extra care
when measuring the detergent.

Should an excess of lather accidentally occur, switch
off the machine, select the spin programme which is
preceded by a drain cycle, to remove the lather and
then start the wash again.
