Colored Cotton; Unbleached Linen; Wool; Rayon Fibers And Synthetic Fibers - Asko W6984 Operating Instructions Manual

Advice and tips before washing

Colored cotton

Colored cotton items labeled 140 °F (60 °C)
should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C) the first time
in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not
do so, there is a risk that the color will run. Use
detergent without bleach in order to preserve the
color of the fabric.

Unbleached linen

Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at
140 °F (60 °C), using detergent containing no
bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen
can occasionally be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often as the heat can
destroy the linen's sheen and strength.

Wool

These fabrics are labeled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool program is at least as
gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as
washing.
If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze
out the water using terrycloth towels. In this case
select No spin.
To find out how to choose this setting, see the
"Operating instructions" chapter. However, most
garments can withstand a short spin. Choose a
short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm
or less.

Rayon fibers and synthetic fibers

Materials made of rayon fibers, such as viscose,
and some synthetic fibers are very delicate and
require much space to avoid wrinkling. Only half
fill the drum when washing and choose a spin
speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.

Stain removal

The automatic stain program can be used for the
following types of stains: Chocolate, Blood, Red
wine, Egg, Grass, Dairy products, Coffee/Tea,
Butter/Grease, and Blueberry. The program is
suitable for cotton, cotton/synthetics, and
synthetics.
NOTE!
For stain removal it is always important to treat
the stain as soon as possible. Leaving a stain
and allowing it to dry makes it more difficult to
remove. It is also important to carefully scrape
off any of the stain on the surface of the garment.
Do not load the machine with more than 6 lb (2.5
kg) of laundry.

Reducing allergic reactions

The washing machine has a Super Rinse option.
Use this for people with sensitive skin, such as
those with allergies and small children.

Save time and energy

Use the Color program to save time and energy.
This program has a shorter main wash than White,
but is often sufficient for lightly soiled laundry.

High Water Level

If you want more water for the main wash and
rinses, you can use the High Water Level option.
High Water Level is used automatically in the
Wool/Hand program.
