Types of fabric and care labels
The labels on garments help you to select the most suitable wash pro-
gramme. The laundry should be sorted out according to the type of fab-
ric and the instructions indicated on care labels.
Temperatures indicated on labels are always maximum temperatures.

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be washed at high tem-
peratures.
Coloureds
Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be
washed at 60°C.
Coloureds
Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore
the washing temperature must not exceed these values.
Synthetics
Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a deli-
cate wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the
specific programme.
