Chemicals; Iron-Free Garments; Fading, Discoloration; Which Detergent Should I Use? - Asko 600 Series Service Manual

PROBLEMS

Chemicals

Textiles that have been in contact with chemicals,
such as battery acid, solution for perming hair,
bleach, lavatory cleaner or acne-removing agent,
must be rinsed as quickly as possible to prevent
holes or stains. Do not let unrinsed textiles come
into contact with other material.

Iron-free garments

Wash these in a half-full machine. These garments
should not be mixed in with heavier washing such
jeans or large bath towels.

Fading, discoloration

1. Follow the washing advice.
2. Dark cotton textiles should be washed for the
first time at 60°C to wash out the surplus
colour.
3. Garments should be sorted according to their
colour and material.
4. Empty all pockets.
Stains remaining after washing
1. Protein stains, from milk, eggs or blood,
should first be soaked in cold water.
2. Oil stains are removed by washing in the hott-
est water the material can take.
Stains should be dealt with as quickly as possible.
The longer a stain remains, the harder it is to
remove.
