Tips for washing delicates

Putting laundry in the drum

Pile items one on top of each other.

※

Excessive clothes may cause vibration;

be sure to comply with the specified

standard capacity.

Detergents

- For wool items, use neutral liquid

detergent. Detergents of other types

may damage the clothes.

- With the Wool or Delicates programme,

you may need to use the Extra Rinse

function to remove excessive detergent

from the laundry. (See page 19)

Hanging the laundry

- Hang out white or light-coloured wool

and nylon items away from direct heat or

sunlight.

- After washing, lay out wool and nylon

clothes, and return them to their normal

shape before hanging in the shade. This

saves on ironing too.

- Hang wool items without folds or

creases, or spread them out to dry.

- Use hangers for shirts, blouses, and

trousers. You may wrap a towel around

the hanger to approximate the clothing’s

shoulder width so that the clothing will

retain its shape as it dries.

If clothing shrinks after being washed

Spread the clothing out to its original size

on an ironing board. Use dress pins to hold

the size and shape. Then, use an iron to

steam the clothing and leave it to dry.
