• Close the water tap.
• Keep the door ajar, to prevent mildew
and odours.
11.3 Fluff in the fabrics
During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool,
sweatshirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fab-
rics during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with techni-
cal fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we
recommend that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured fab-
rics (new sponge, wool, sweatshirt )
and the contrary.
