FLUFF IN THE GARMENTS
During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING PHASE, certain types of fabric, as sponge- cloth, wool, sweatshirt, could release fluff. The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle.
This drawback increases with technical fab- rics.
To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is rec- ommended:
•To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light colored fabrics
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt especially) and vice versa.
•To
•To clean the filter.
•Perform one or more rinse cycles to wash the drum between the washing and drying of fabrics with different colors.
•After the drying phase, thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet rag.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
SORTING OUT THE LAUNDRY
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, deli- cates, woollens.
TEMPERATURES
95° or 90° |
| for normally soiled white cot- |
| tons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, | |
|
| towels, tablecloths, sheets...) |

|
| garments (e.g. shirts, night |
60°/50° |

BEFORE LOADING THE LAUNDRY
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
MAXIMUM LOADS
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts.
General rules:
•Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
•Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
•Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum
no more than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

REMOVING STAINS
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore ad- visable to treat them prior to washing.
