Wool
These fabrics are labelled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool/hand wash program is
at least as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as
washing.
If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze
out the water using terry towels. In this case select
No spin.
To find out how to choose this setting, see the
"Washing" chapter. However, most garments can
withstand a short spin. Choose a short spin by
selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm or less.
Rayon fibres and synthetic fibres
Materials made of rayon fibres, such as viscose,
and some synthetic fibres are very delicate and
require much space so as not to crease. Only half
fill the drum when washing and choose a spin
speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
Save time and energy
Use the Everyday wash program to save time and
energy. This program has a shorter main wash
than Normal, but is often sufficient for lightly soiled
washing.
High water level
If you want more water for the main wash and
rinses, you can use the High water level option.
This is automatically selected in the Wool/Hand
program.
Economy and efficiency
You can save energy by not using higher
temperature programs than necessary.
• Select Quick if you just need to freshen up
shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This
will save both water and energy.
• If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces
energy consumption when drying in a tumble
dryer or drying cabinet.
• Always wash with a full load when using the
Heavy, Everyday wash and Normal programs.
• Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and
detergents clean effectively without
pre-washing. Pre-washing is only necessary
for heavily soiled washing.
Detergents
Eco-labelled detergents are less harmful to the
environment.
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater impact
on the environment; can also hinder the wash
performance.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you
are not satisfied with the results.
Dyeing fabrics
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select
the Everyday wash program with the Super Rinse
option. Select temperature according to the dye
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be dyed
is a blended material such as
polyester/cotton.
NOTE!
Add the dye directly to the washing drum – not
to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you
should run the machine empty using the same
program. Use the normal amount of detergent.
