Main wash
Auto half load
The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system. This system enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact, the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.
Sorting the laundry
–It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and detergent and not
–If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
–Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: follow the labelling on the garments.
Examples:
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured,
–Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing:
Wash by hand Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to use a laundry net or wash bag.
–Woollen items must be labelled with the “Pure New Wool” symbol if they are to be washed in the machine, and must also be labelled
–Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately.
For future washes, non colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up to 40°C.
Do not wash
