Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long
tapes.
To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close
zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose
ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons). Turn items
with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g.
with cotton lined anoraks, the cotton layer
should be outermost). These fabrics will
then dry better.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the pro-
gramme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no
more than one third full.
Try to load to the maximum capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
