Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen:
drum full but not too tightly
packed;
Synthetics:
drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens:
drum no more
than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load
size.

water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.

detergent paste.

quantities, can upset the delicate balance of

The choice of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,
