RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING

Check the recommended washing marking on

garments.Thetablebelowgivesusefulinforma-

tion on suitable washing programmes for diffe-

rent materials and amounts of washing.

COLOURED COTTON

Coloured cotton garments marked with a re-

commendation for 60ºC should the first time

bewashedat 60ºCtogetridofanysurplus dye.

If this advice is ignored there is a risk that co-

lours will run. Use a detergent without bleach

to safeguard the colours.

DELICATE WASHING

Unbleached linen

Unbleached linen should be washed at 60ºC

using a detergent without bleach or optical

whitening agent. Severely soiled linen can oc-

casionally be washed at a higher temperature,

but not too often because heat can destroy the

lustre and strength of linen.

8BEFOREWASHING

Before you start washing, here is some advice

that can be useful.

SORTING THE WASHING

Sort garments in relation to:

• How soiled they are

• Colour

• Material

GARMENTS

• Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe

against other items.

• New coloured garments can have surplus dye

and should therefore be washed separately the

first time.

• Turn garments inside out.

This reduces the risk of bur-

ling, dye creases, etc.

• Empty pockets and suitably

letthemwashturnedinsideout.

WASHING

Symbols in washing instructions

Wool and silk

Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine

wash,andsometimeshandwash.TheWooland

Hand programmes of the machine are at least

as gentle as washing by hand.

Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical

processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying,

you can press out the water instead using terry

towelling. In this case, you should select No

Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing, for details of

how to select this setting.

Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho-

wever. The Wool and Hand programmes al-

ways include a short spin.

Man-made fibres and synthetic fibres

These materials require a lot of space if they are

not to crease. Fill the drum only to half load

when washing man-made/synthetic fibres. Se-

lectashortspinbyselectingaspinspeedof800

revolutions/minute or lower.

NOTE

Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.

HIGH WATER LEVEL

If you require more water for the main wash

and rinsing, you can use the High water level

option.SeeChapter11,Making your own pro-

grammes, for details of how to select this op-

tion.

High water level is always used in the Wool

and Hand programmes.

AVOID CREASES WASHING

You should use the Anti-crease option to avoid

creased washing. This option means that the

washing will continue to be rotated for two

hoursaftertheprogrammehasended.SeeChap-

ter 11, Making your own programmes, for de-

tails of how to select this option.

MINIMIZING ALLERGY HAZARDS

This washing machine offers a Super rinse

function. You should use this to take account

of persons with a sensitive skin, for example

persons with allergies and infants. See Chapter

11, Making your own programmes, for details

of how to select this option.

SAVE TIME

Use the White/Coloured programme to save

time.This programme has a shorter main wash

than Normal, but it is often sufficient for nor-

mally soiled washing.

ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY

You can save a lot of energy by not using a

stronger programme than necessary.

-Withoutincreasingthetemperature,thewash-

ing effect can be increased by selecting the E2

option. You will then save energy without lo-

sing any washing effect.

SeeChapter11,Makingyourownwashingpro-

grammes, for details of how to select E2.

- Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy

consumptionforsubsequentdryinginatumble

dryer or a drying cabinet.

- Select Quick if you simply need to freshen up

shirts or training kit, etc. You will save both

water and energy.
