11.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that
are on the laundry care labels.

coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first times.

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

items.
