Useful tips

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

Watch the weight!

For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated below (figures show weight of dry garments):

How much does it weigh? 1 sheet 400-500 gr.

1 pillow case 150-200 gr.

1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.

1 towel 150-250 gr.

Coloured 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.

Holidays: 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.

-Synthetic fabrics: 2.5 kg maximum

-Delicate fabrics: 2 kg maximum

Dungaree alert.

Very popular “salopette” type overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the drum of your washer-dryer or other garments during the wash.To minimise the risk, place hooks in the pocket and fasten with safety pins.

WOOL CYCLE

For best results, we recommend you use a specific detergent, taking care not to wash more than 1 kg of laundry.

How to wash almost anything

Curtains.

Curtains tend to crease a great deal. A useful tip to reduce creasing: fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Do not load anything else inside the appliance, this will ensure that the overall weight does not exceed the half load. Remember to use the specific programme 8 which automatically excludes the spin cycle.

Quilted coats and anorak. You can wash quilted coats and wind-cheaters, too, if they are padded with goose or duck down. Do not load more than 2-3 kg and never load 5,5 kg. Repeat rinse once or twice using the gentle spin.

Trainers.

Once you have removed mud and dirt from trainers, you can even wash them with jeans or any other tough garments. Do not wash trainers with whites.
