Delicate & Special Washes
Delicate items, especially machine washable wool or wool mixed fabrics will require
a more gentle wash than the synthetic washes in order to give the best possible
care for your clothes. These programs have a lower drum agitation and so are
gentler to your clothes and none will heat above 30°C or offer the full spin speed, all
these programs will spin at the lower speed.
It is very important that, when washing wool or woolen mix items that you use a
detergent for that specific purpose. Failure to use the correct detergent will almost
certainly result in damage, primarily shrinkage, to your clothes which cannot be
reversed.
It is also important to not spin delicate items if they are labelled as being unsuitable
for spinning and hence the delicates program stops with water in the drum.
The delicate 30°C cycle is designed with a very gentle wash action to care for very
delicate fibres such as silk mixtures, polyester, polimiads and so on. The need for
this cycle will be shown on your fabric care label.

delicate 30°C
The wool 30°C cycle is designed with a very gentle wash action to care for both
hand and machine washable woolen items. However it is extremely important to
use the correct “Wool” detergent when washing woolens as well as to use less than
half the drum capacity to allow these items to move freely around the drum.
