Useful tips

Never use your washing machine to wash... torn, fraying or non-hemmed linen. If it is absolutely neccessary, place it in a bag for protection. Do not wash colored linen with whites.

Colored T-shirts, printed ones and shirts last longer if turned inside out before washing.

Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts should always be ironed inside out.

Wool cycle

For best results, we recommend you use very little detergent, taking care not to wash more than 3.5 lbs (1,8 kg) of laundry.

Vacations: unplug the appliance.

It is recommended that you should unplug the machine from the socket and turn off the water supply. Leave the door ajar to allow air circulation to the draw and the door gasket area. This will prevent unpleasant odours.

For more delicate garments:

protect underwear, tights and stockings and delicate items by placing them in a linen bag
