12 washing guide
Washing guide
Sorting and preparing the washing
• Sort washing by type and care label
(refer to International symbols section
below) : normal wash for tough
fabrics which can withstand intense
washing and spinning cycles ; deli-
cate wash for delicate fabrics which
need to be treated with care. For
mixed loads, loads with items of dif-
ferent types of material, choose a
programme and a temperature suita-
ble for the most fragile material.
• Wash whites and colours separately :
Otherwise, whites will be coloured or
will turn grey.
• New coloured clothes often contain
excess dye. It is recommended to
wash such items separately the first
time. Follow care instructions “wash
separately” and “wash separately
several times”.
• Empty pockets and unfold items.
• Remove loose buttons, pins and fas-
teners. Close zip fasteners, tie ups
laces and straps.
• Turn multilayered fabrics (sleeping
bags, anoraks, etc.), coloured head-
wear, wool and material with printed
designs inside out.
• Wash small fragile items (socks,
tights, bras, etc) in a net bag.
• Take special care with curtains.
Remove hooks and place net cur-
tains in a net or bag.
Wash loads depending on type of
materials
The amount of washing placed in the
drum must not exceed the maximum
capacity of the washing machine. This
capacity can vary depending on the type
of materials. Reduce the quantity if
washing is heavily soiled or made of ab-
sorbant material.
Not all textiles have the same volume in
the drum or the same water absorption
levels. In general, the drum must there-
fore be filled :
• to full capacity but avoiding exces-
sive pressure on cotton, linen and
cotton/linen mixtures,
• to half capacity for processed cot-
tons and synthetic fibres,
• to a third of its capacity for very fra-
gile items such as net curtains and
woollens.
For mixed loads, fill drum depending on
most fragile materials.
Detergents and additives
Only use detergents and additives desi-
gned for use in a washing machine. Re-
fer to manufacturer’s recommendations
and also Dispenser box and Using the ri-
ght amount of detergent sections.
We do not recommend mixing different
types of detergents. This may spoil the
washing.
The amount of detergent to be used de-
pends on the size of the load, the hard-
ness of the water and how heavily soiled
the washing is.
If the water is soft, reduce the amount
slightly. If the water contains lime scale
(a descaler is recommended) or if the
washing is heavily soiled or stained, in-
crease the amount slightly.
