Textile care symbols
The textile care symbols on clothing in-
dicate the maximum temperature at
which the clothing should be washed
and are a good guideline when choos-
ing a programme. In choosing a pro-
gramme, it can be taken into account
that front-loading machines are gentler
on clothing than most top-loading, verti-
cal tub machines.
