Special programmes

– Programme for hand-washable fab-

rics (Silks

)

Hand-washable fabrics which crease
easily but do not contain wool can be
washed in the Silks

programme

(30°C temperature only).

– Programme for hand-washable fab-

rics (WOOLLENS

)

Hand-washable or machine-wash-
able wool or wool blend fabrics can
be washed in the WOOLLENS

programme. If the garment care label
does not specify a temperature,
wash using the cold setting.

– Programme for small loads

(Quick wash)

This is a Cottons programme for very
lightly soiled fabrics.

– Programme for mixed fabrics

(Mixed wash)

Suitable for small loads of garments
made from man-made fibres and cot-
ton garments which can be washed
together. Sort according to colour.

– Rinse programme (Separate rinse)

Articles are only rinsed and spun in
the machine.

Delicates and Silks

programmes

In these programmes the laundry is
washed and spun very gently to reduce
creasing and the amount of ironing re-
quired, thus providing "Easy care" for
your laundry.

Water plus system

The water level for washing and rinsing
is increased. For COTTONS
programmes an additional rinse can
also be selected.
