Washing 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

listed 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

temperatures together, always select the lowest

temperature.

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

quantities.

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-

700-1000 g

soak product or biological detergent.

100-200 g

Only wool marked "Pure New Wool - washable,

preshrunk" can be washed in the machine using the

400-500 g

wool programme; other types of wool should be

50-100 g

washed by hand or dry cleaned.

70-120 g

If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin

only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left

100-150 g

in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not

150-250 g

contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a

rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to

700-1000 g

ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

1000-1500 g

Once you have finished using the machine, you are

200-300 g

advised to unplug it and turn off the water taps.

150-200 g
