Wool and silk
Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and Hand programmes of the machine are at least as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying, you can press out the water instead using terry towelling. In this case, you should select No Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing for details of how to select this setting.
Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho- wever. The Wool and Hand programmes al- ways include a short spin.
These materials require a lot of space if they are not to crease. Fill the drum only to half load when washing
NOTE
Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.
MINIMIZING ALLERGY RISKS
This washing machine offers a Super rinse func-
tion . You should use this to take account of persons with a sensitive skin, for example persons with allergies and infants.
PRE-SOAKING
The
The drum will rotate on two occasions every tenth minute.
SAVE TIME
Use the White/Coloured programme to save time. This programme has a shorter main wash than ”Normal”, but it is often sufficient for nor- mally soiled washing.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
You can save a lot of energy by not using a stronger programme than necessary.
- Without increasing the temperature, the wash- ing effect can be increased by selecting the option. You will then save energy without lo- sing any washing effect.
-Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy consumption for subsequent drying in a tumble dryer or a drying cabinet.
-Select Quick if you simply need to freshen up shirts or training kit, etc. You will save both water and energy.
