Preparing The Washing Cycle - Electrolux EWF 10080 W User Manual

Preparing the wash cycle
Sorting out 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
for normally soiled white
cottons and linen (e.g. tea
95°/90°
cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)
for normally soiled, colour
fast garments (e.g. shirts,
night dresses, pyjamas....) in
50°/60° linen, cotton or synthetic
fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g.
underwear).
for delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry
30°-40° including synthetic fibres and
Cold woollens bearing the label
«pure new wool, machine
washable, non-shrink».
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 washing 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.
