Wool
These fabrics are labelled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool programme 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.
Stain removal
The automatic stain programme can be used
for the following types of stains: Chocolate,
Blood, Red wine, Egg, Grass, Diary products,
Tea/Coffee, Fat stains grease/oil and Blueberry.
The programme is suitable for cotton, cotton/
synthetics and synthetics.
NOTE!
For stain removal it is always important to treat
the stain as soon as possible. Leaving a stain
and allowing it to dry makes it more difficult to
remove.
It is also important to carefully scrape off any of
the stain lying on the surface. Do not load the
machine with more than 2,5 kg of laundry.
Advice and tips before washing
Reducing allergic reactions
The washing machine has a Super Rinse
option. Use this for people with sensitive skin,
such as those with allergies and small children.
Save time and energy
Use the Everyday wash programme to save
time and energy. This programme has a shorter
main wash than Standard cotton
40 °C
60 °C
, 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.
High water level is used automatically in the
Wool/Hand programme.
Economy and efficiency
You can save a lot of 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 Standard cotton
40 °C
60 °C
programmes.
• 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.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satisfied with the results.
