1. Remove the laundry from the appliance.
Make sure that the drum is empty.
2. Keep the door ajar to prevent mildew and
odours.
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 fabrics during
the next cycle.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend
that you:
•
Do not wash dark fabrics after you have washed
and dried light coloured fabrics (new sponge,
wool, sweatshirt ) and the contrary.
HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
THE LAUNDRY LOAD
•
Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
•
Obey the washing instructions that are on the
laundry care labels.
•
Do not wash white and coloured items together.
•
Some coloured items can discolour with the first
wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first times.
•
Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts.
•
Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
•
Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with
painted illustrations inside out.
•
Remove hard stains with a special detergent.
•
Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains before
putting items in drum
•
Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks
and put the curtains in a washing bag or
pillowcase.
•
Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts.
Use a washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts,
tights, etc. ).
•
A very small load can cause balance problems
with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust
manually the items in the tub and start the spin
phase again.
