HYGIENE

eliminates the micro-organisms thanks to the washing by
60°C and an additional rinse. In this way the action is more
effective. Put into the compartment STAIN a special
additive for hygiene and select the option STAIN.

Preparing the wash cycle
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,
delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
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...

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
advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood:treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in
water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint:moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains:moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft
surface and dab the stain with the...
