HINTS AND TIPS

RULES FOR SEPARATING LAUNDRY
• Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed fibres,
synthetic, wool, handwash items)
• Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured items separately)
• Size (wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficacy and weight distribution in the
drum)
• Delicates (place small items – such as nylon stockings –
and garments with clasps – such as braziers – in a laundry
bag or in a pillow case with a zip) .

SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
• Keeping within the load limits indicated in the
"PROGRAMM CHART" will optimise energy, water and
detergent consumption and reduce washing times .
• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended by
the detergent manufacturer .
• Save energy by using a 60 °C instead of a 90 °C wash
programme, or by using a 40 °C instead of a 60 °C wash
programme . We recommend using " Cotton
°C programme for cotton garments, which is longer, but
uses less energy .
• To save energy and time when washing, select highest
spin speed available for the programme to reduce the
residual water remaining in the garments at the end of the
wash cycle .
• Pretreat any stains with an appropriate stain remover,
or else dampen any dried-on stains with water prior
to washing, as this will reduce the need to use a high
temperature watch programme .
• Use the "Colours 15°" programme for lightly soiled
coloured garments; this will reduce the amount of energy
used to heat the water .
