Wool and silk Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and Hand wash programs 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.

CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE- VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR Today’s modern detergents mean that washing at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe- ver, this can result in small deposits forming inside the machine. These can eventually lead to odour problems.
11 TROUBLE SHOOTING MACHINE WILL NOT START - Is the washer door properly closed? Press it shut firmly. - Check that the main power switch - Is the power supply interrupted? Check the fuses in the house. WASHER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE If the door opens again immediately after you have closed it, check that you have made the correct program settings.
MACHINE WILL NOT TAKE IN WATER AFTER STAR- TING - Check that the water tap is open. Proceed as follows: 1. Open the water tap. 2. If the program started more than five minu- tes ago, restart the program with the ton.
