Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer's washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95°
for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)
60°
for normally soiled, colour fast garments
(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in
linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

30°-40°
laundry including synthetic fibres and

wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

manufacturer of this washing machine.
M9604.

be washed in Wool programme

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their "whiteness" in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or
detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or
tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

bathrobe
napkin
quilt cover

pillow case
tablecloth
towelling towel
