PREPARING THE WASH 1. Sort the laundry according to… • Type of fabric / care label symbol Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetic, wool, handwashed items. • Colour Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new coloured items separately. • Size Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribute the load more evenly inside the drum. • Fabric delicacy Wash delicate articles separately: use a special programme for Pure New Wool , curtains and other delicates.
DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT • The type of detergent depends on: • type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetic, delicate items, wool). Note: use only specific detergents for wool. • colour; • washing temperature; • degree and type of soiling. Notes: • Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble detergents components used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If you notice this problem, shake or brush the affected items or use a liquid detergent.
DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES Notes: • You can use liquid detergent in the “Prewash” phase for programmes with this option. In this case use only powder detergents for the main wash. • When using concentrated fabric softeners, add water in the detergent dispenser up to “MAX” level mark. • To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball supplied with the detergent and place it inside the drum.
DOOR LOCK/ PROGRAMME END DOOR LOCK PROGRAMME END The door locks automatically after the programme start until the end of the programme.
