HINTS AND TIPS

Washing hints

You are advised not to leave your laundry too long,

especially when damp. Damp laundry produces

moult and unpleasant smells.

Moult stains cannot be removed.

Sort your laundry.

Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining

the symbols used on clothes labels

(see page 14).

The following points are particularly important :

- a line under the bowl means that the garment

cannot be washed using programmes for resistant

fabrics such as cotton and linen;

- do not mix coloured garments with whites;

- anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should

be treated as synthetics;

- non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain

materials should be treated as delicate fabrics;

- the wool programme is designed specifically for

pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool

mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed.

Woollen garments should be spun briefly

immediately after washing.

Prewash

Prewash is not normally necessary. Your new

washing machine combined with modern

detergents will give perfect washing results without

prewash, thus saving energy, time, water and

detergent.

However, when the laundry is particularly dirty

(for example if you have to wash mechanics'

overalls or butchers' aprons), you are advised to

use prewash with a biological detergent.

Temperatures

We suggest that white cotton and linen, if it is not

excessively soiled, can be washed at 60° instead

of 90°C. There should be no reduction in perfor-

mance, but there will be an energy saving of

approximately 30%.

The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured

garments.

They usually require a temperature of 60°C but if

they are not excessively dirty, you will have

satisfactory results at 40°C.

Garments with non-fast colours should not be

washed at temperatures above 40°C. If fast and

non-fast colours are washed together, they should

be treated as non-fast colours and therefore the

temperature should not exceed 40°C.

Resistant white and coloured synthetics can

normally be washed at 60°C but also in this case

40°C is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively

dirty.

Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast

colours and woollen garments must never be

washed above 40°C.

As you already know, your washing machine can

also wash with cold water. However, it must be

remembered that the detergents currently on the

market have not been designed for cold washes

and that in winter, when the water is very cold,

they may not dissolve adequately.

We suggest the use of liquid detergents.

How much laundry can be washed

in one load?

Strictly speaking you should always weigh your

laundry.

The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and

linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the

maximum load is 2,5 kg and for wool, 1 kg.

As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you

estimate the weight according to how full the drum

is:

cotton and linen : drum full not too tighty packed

resistant synthetics : no more than 2/3 of the

drum

delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of

the drum.

Before placing the laundry in the

machine:

- mend all tears, holes and ladders;

- secure loose buttons and close poppers and

zips;

- do not wash frayed garments - mend hems

before washing;

- remove all small objects from pockets. Nails,

pins, clips and similar objects can seriously damage

your washing machine and laundry;

- remove curtain hooks;

- wash coloured garments and in particular those

with non-fast colours separately when washing for

the first time. They are likely to lose colour the first

time they are washed.

- treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar,

paint, ink etc. with a stain remover before washing.
