3. PRACTICAL TIPS
WARNING: when sorting laundry,
make sure:
- there are NO foreign objects such as
coins, hair clips, pins, keys etc, etc, from
the wash load. Check all pockets. Serious
damage to the machine can result which
may not be covered by warranty.
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed
zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;
- to have removed rollers from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing
labels;

using specific detergents.
! When washing rugs, bedcovers or other
heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid
spinning.

machine washed. Check the fabric label.

economic use of your appliance.
Maximise The Load Size
! Achieve the best use of energy, water,
detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full
load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?
! For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normally soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required?
! Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak
dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash
programme.
Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C
wash programme.
Before using a drying programme
(WASHER-DRYERS)
! SAVE energy and time by selecting a
high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying
programme.
Following is a quick guide with tips and
recommendations on detergent use at the
various temperatures. In any case, always
read the instructions on the detergent for
correct use and doses.

Helpful suggestions for the user
When washing heavily soiled whites,
we recommend using cotton
programs of 60°C or above and a
normal washing powder (heavy duty)
that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high temperatures provide
excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and
level of soiling.
Normal powders are suitable for “white”
or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,
while liquid detergents or “colour
protecting” powders are suitable for
coloured fabrics with light levels of
soiling.
For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
Please note - dilute viscous liquid
detergent with warm water if necessary.
For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.
