Bag for quilts, curtains and delicate garments
The Aqualtis washing machine makes it easier for you
to wash even the most valuable and delicate garments
in complete confidence thanks to the special bag which
protects the laundry (this is supplied with the machine).
We recommend that the bag is used every time you wash
quilts and padded items with an outer layer made using
synthetic material.
* Steam Refresh
This programme refreshes garments by removing bad
odours and relaxing the fibres (1.5 kg, roughly 3 items).
Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select
programme “
“. The garments will be damp once the
cycle is completed, so we recommend hanging them to
dry. The “
“ programme makes ironing easier.
Moreover, with the “Steam Perfume” laundry balls, your
favourite perfume can be added to your laundry. Place a
few drops of perfume on the sponge contained inside the
laundry ball, close it and insert it into the drum together
with the laundry. Then launch the specific programme “
“. At the end of the cycle, garments will be relaxed and
fragrant.
!
Not recommended for
wool
or
silk
garments.
!
Do not add too much perfume to the sponge in order to
avoid it dripping.
!
Do not add softeners or detergents.
