Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour fastness and how dirty it is.
When washing curtains remove the hooks.
It is essential to wash new coloured items
separately when washing them for the first time.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together , always select the lowest
one.
White items should NOT be washed with
coloured ones.
For wool use gentle detergents only in small
quantities. Only wool marked ‘PURE NEW
WOOL WASHABLE PRESHRUNK’ can be
washed in the machine using the wool program;
other types of wool should be washed by hand or
dry cleaned.
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust,
blood, etc. are difficult to remove and should be
treated before washing with specific products
which can be found in most household shops. In
any case they should be treated immediately ,
later on they are difficult to remove.
Damp laundry should be hung out to dry as soon
as possible after finishing the wash.
Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat, away
from direct sunlight.
On the care labels in most clothes wash code
symbols can be found which help you to select
the adequate wash program. You are
recommended to observe and follow these
instructions.
On the following table you will find the key for the
symbols.
Load the washing machine
Check the quantity you are going to wash for
each cycle.
It is rather difficult to weigh all the pieces to be
washed. We therefore advise you to:
Cotton and linen: fill the drum without force.
Synthetic: fill two thirds of the drum.
Delicates and wool: fill half the drum.
Temperatures
You are advised to wash whites at a temperature
of 60°C. If the laundry is not very soiled this will
be enough and it is energy saving. If you want to
wash whites in cold water, you must choose
program 2 and turn the temperature selector to
the position.
Coloured fabrics are recommended to be
washed at 40°C although they could stand 60°C.
When washing together dark and light colours
the temperature should not exceed 40°C.
Synthetic white and light coloured fabrics may be
washed at 60°C, but here also 40° will do if they
are not very soiled.
Dark synthetics, delicate fabrics and wool must
be washed at a temperature lower than 40°C. If
one of the labels is marked 30°C, select 30°C for
the whole cycle.
