Washing and drying hints

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance.
The average weights of the most common items are list-
ed below as a guide:
1000g = 1 kg
Sheet
Pillow case
Tablecloth
Serviette
Tea towel
Linen hand towel
Towelling hand towel
Towelling bath towel
Bath robe
Man's shirt
Apron
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash tem-
peratures together, always select the lowest tempera-
ture.
White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
Use the correct quantities of detergent.
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quanti-
ties.
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.

Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found in
most household shops. In some cases it may help to
soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak
product or biological detergent.
Only wool marked «Pure New Wool - washable,
preshrunk» can be washed in the machine using the
wool programme; other types of wool should be
700-1000 g
washed by hand or dry cleaned.
100-200 g
If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
400-500 g
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
50-100 g
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.
70-120 g
When drying always load well spun laundry. The
100-150 g higher the spin speed the lower is electric energy
consumption during drying and the shorter is the dry-
150-250 g
ing time.
Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too
700-1000 g
long before drying.
1000-1500 g
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.
200-300 g
If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy,
150-200 g
any subsequent ironing may become more difficult
because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tum-
ble dryers.
For drying, follow the indications given on the manu-
facturer's labels.
Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water taps.
