PREPARATION OF THE WASHING
Sort the laundry
1.Sort the laundry according to…
• Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,
wool, handwashed items.
• Colour
Separate whites and coloured items. Wash new
coloured articles separately.
•Size
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficiency and distribution in
the drum.
• Fabric delicacy
Wash delicate articles separately: Use a special
programme for Pure New Wool , curtains and
other delicates. Always remove curtain glides or
wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag.
Use the special programme for handwash fabrics.
Wash small articles (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.)
and articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special cotton
bags for washing machines or in zipped pillow cases.
2.Empty pockets
Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage
your laundry and the appliance drum and tub.
3.Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Stain removal
• Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances
are generally removed by the enzyme phase of
the programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain removing agent in
detergent dispenser or chlorine bleach in
compartment (depending on model).
• Particularly stubborn stains can be treated with
stain remover before the wash.
Dyeing and Bleaching
Commercially available products usually consist of
a dye colour, fixing agent and salt. Pour the dye
colour, the fixing agent and then the salt directly
into the empty drum. Fill in the laundry only
afterwards.
• Use exclusively dyes and bleaches recommended
for washing machines.
• Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
• Plastic and rubber components of the machine
can be stained by dyes.
Loading the laundry
1.Open the door.
2.Load the articles one at a time loosely into the
drum, without overfilling. Follow loads
recommended in the “programme chart”.
Overloading will result in unsatisfactory washing
results and creased laundry.
3.Close the door.
DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Choice of detergent and additives
The type of detergent depends on:
• type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
Note: use only specific detergents for wool.
• colour;
• wash temperature;
• degree and type of soiling.
Notes:
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by
insoluble detergent components used in modern
phosphate-free powder detergents.
If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use
liquid detergents.
Keep detergents and additives in a dry place and
out of reach of children.
Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,
make sure they are suitable for washing machine
use. Descaler could contain components that can
attack parts of your washing machine.
Do not use solvents in the machine
(e.g. turpentine, benzine, etc.).
Do not machine wash fabrics that have been
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
Dosage
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in
relation to:
• the degree and type of soiling;
• the size of the load;
• full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions;
• half load: 3/4 of the normal amount;
• minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount
used for full load;
