RULES FOR SEPARATING LAUNDRY
• Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed
bres, synthetic, wool, handwash items)
• Colour (separate coloured garments from whites,
wash new coloured items separately)
• Size (wash items of dierent sizes in the same
load to improve washing ecacy and weight
distribution in the drum)
• Delicates (place small items – such as nylon
stockings – and garments with clasps – such as
braziers – in a laundry bag or in a pillow case with
a zip).
EMPTY POCKETS
• Objects like coins or safety pins can damage the
laundry as well as the washer dryer's drum.
WASH SYMBOLS
ON GARMENT LABELS
The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum
temperature possible for washing the garment.
Normal mechanical action
Reduced mechanical action
Much reduced mechanical action
Hand wash only
Do not wash
CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY
• This is needed to prevent the lter from blocking
and preventing the water from draining correctly.
SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
• Keeping within the load limits indicated in the
programme chart will optimise energy, water
and detergent consumption and reduce washing
times.
• Do not exceed the detergent quantities
recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 90°C
wash programme, or by using a 40°C instead
of a 60°C wash programme. We recommend
using the “ Cotton” 60°C programme for cotton
garments, which is longer, but uses less energy.
• To save energy and time when washing and
drying, select highest spin speed available for
the programme to reduce the residual water
remaining in the garments at the end of the wash
cycle.
