HINTS AND TIPS

11.1 

The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,

synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that are

on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items

together.

• Some coloured items can discolour

with the first wash. We recommend

that you wash them separately for the

first times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the

items.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and

items with painted illustrations inside

out.

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash heavy soil stains with a special

detergent.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks or put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or

with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash

small and/or delicate items (e.g.

underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this

occurs, adjust manually the items in

the tub and start the spin phase again.

11.2 

Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is

not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these

stains before you put the items in the

appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use

the special stain remover that is applicable

to the type of stain and fabric.
