Wool -
Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by
The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments
labelled as “hand wash” provided that the garments
are washed according to the instructions issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. Follow the garment
care label for drying and other laundry instructions. (M1135)
Detergent
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on the
type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.), as
well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of soiling
and the hardness of the water in the area. Measuring out the
detergent carefully will avoid wastage and help to protect the
environment: although they are biodegradable, detergents still
contain ingredients which alter the balance of nature.
We recommend the following:
• use powder detergents for white cotton garments and
pre-washing.
• use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and
for all low-temperature wash cycles.
• use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments.
The detergent should be poured into the relevant
compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the
drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will
not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.
!
Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C
!
Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Preparing the laundry
• Shake out the garments before loading them into the machine.
• Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the
washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you
separate the coloured garments from the white ones;
• Empty all pockets and check the buttons;
• Do not exceed the values listed in the
“Table of wash
cycles”
, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
