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. Select (No Spin). Once the pro-
gram is complete, you should then run the Drain
program.
Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho-
wever. The Wool and Hand wash programs au-
tomatically 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-
lect a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800
revolutions/minute or lower.
NOTE
Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.
MINIMIZE THE RISK OF ALLERGY
This washing machine offers a Super rinse op-
tion . You should use this if you have sensi-
7
tive skin, for example people with allergies and
infants.
SAVE TIME
Use the Light wash program to save time. This
program has a shorter main wash than Normal
wash, but it is often sufficient for normally soi-
led washing.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
You can save energy by using a shorter program.
• Select Super quick wash if you simply need
to freshen up shirts or training kit, etc. You will
save both water and energy.
• Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy
consumption for subsequent drying in a rumble
dryer or a drying cabinet.
DETERGENTS
Overdosing detergent will not give better re-
sults, it only increases the burden on the envi-
ronment.
Try using less detergent, and increase the dose
only if you are displeased with the washing re-
sults.
