							Washing and Drying hints
Sorting 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 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.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels as
these can attract the fluff.
Remove the laundry when the appli-
ance has finished drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is
completed, use either a fabric softener
when you are washing the laundry or a
fabric conditioner specifically for tumble
dryers.
Particularly delicate items such as syn-
thetic curtains, woollen and silk,  gar-
ments with metal inserts, nylon stock-
ings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and
duvets must not be machine dried.
Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must
not be machine dried; they represent a
fire hazard.
Also, fabrics containing residues of set-
ting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents
or similar solutions must not be
machine dried in order to avoid the for-
mation of harmful vapours.
For drying, follow the indications given
on the manufacturer’s labels.
May be tumble dried
Drying at high temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Do not tumble dry

Important
As a dryer, the machine works on the
condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be
open and the drain hose must drain
water into a sink or into the drain
pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in
the 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.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
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
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust:oxalic acid dissolved in hot water
or a rust removing product used cold.
Be careful with rust stains which are
not recent since the cellulose structure
will already have been damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains:treat with bleach, rinse
well (whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass:soap lightly and treat with
bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue:moisten with
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick:moisten with acetone as
above, then treat stains with
methylated spirits. Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics with
bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent,
rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,
then rinse. Treat any residual marks
with bleach.
