Washing recommendations

Bed and bathroom laundry (sheets, towels, bathrobes, etc.): use the WHITE COTTON programme which guarantees the most efficient wash in Class A appliances. The intensive spin cycle eliminates all excess water efficiently.

White cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts, tablecloths, etc.): use the WHITE COTTON 60° programme. If there are any stubborn stains, they should be pre-treated with solid soap before the wash cycle is started.

Coloured cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts, underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX 40° programme, which maximises the performance of the wash without damaging the colours. The spin cycle phase, thanks to the incorporated EASY IRON function, reduces the formation of creases at the end of the wash, making the fabric easier to iron. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

White or coloured synthetic garments (shirts, T-shirts, underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX

40° programme. We recommend that white and coloured garments are not washed in the same wash cycle, to prevent any colour leakage from seeping into the white clothing. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Coloured synthetic and cotton garments, with

“wash at 30°” instruction on the care label: use the DAILY WASH 30’ programme. The low washing temperature protects the coloured fabrics. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Woollen garments (jumpers, scarves, etc.): use the DELICATES 30° programme with final spin +. The movement of the drum during the wash and the delicate spin cycle reduces fabric matting. We recommend the use of detergents specifically designed for woollen garments. We recommend that the maximum load level is not exceeded.

Silk garments (shirts, underwear, etc.): use the DELICATES 30° programme with the spin excluded

+ . Try not to leave the laundry in the drum for too long after the wash cycle has finished, to prevent excessive creasing.

Curtains: use the DELICATES 30° programme with the spin excluded + . We recommend they are folded and placed inside a pillowcase or a mesh bag. Wash them separately, making sure the maximum load level is not exceeded.
