Adding Delicate Laundry Items to the Drum
Close zips and buttons.
•
Add items one by one on top of each other.
•
Don’t overload the drum as it may cause excessive
•
vibration or damage to the washing machine.
Which Detergent to Use
For wool items, use a mild liquid detergent. Other detergents may damage your clothes.
•
With Wool or Delicates programmes, you may need to use the Extra Rinse cycle to
•
remove excess detergent from your clothes. This depends on the amount of detergent
you use, and the amount of foam that develops in the main wash cycle.
To do this, once the programme has finished, select the Wool programme to rinse again.
•
Then select RINSE using the Power & Programme Selection Dial and press START/PAUSE
button.
Tips for Hanging Delicate Items to Dry
Hang white or light colour clothes, wool and nylon
•
away from direct heat or sunlight.
After washing, smooth creases and folds out of wool
•
and nylon clothes and return them to their normal
shape before hanging in the shade.
Use a hanger for shirts, blouses and trousers. You can
•
wrap a towel around the hanger to fit the shoulder
width of your clothes, so they retain their shape as
they dry.
Spread woollen items such as seaters out to dry.
•
If Clothing Shrinks in the Wash...
You can spread the item out to its original size on an
•
ironing board, and use dress pins to hold the size and
shape. Then use an iron to steam the item and leave
it to dry.
