Cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool,
handwashable textiles.

Separate whites and coloured items. Wash
new coloured items separately.
• Size
Wash items of different sizes in the same load
to improve washing efficiency and distribute
the load more evenly inside the drum.
• Fabric delicacy

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 stockings, belts and other small items
or 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 can damage
your laundry and the appliance drum and tub.

WASHING AND CARING FOR SILK AND
OTHER HANDWASHABLE ARTICLES
Washing
(depending on model)
:
•
To ensure correct care of delicate articles this
programme has no spin cycle.
•
If you select the special option Rinse Hold,
don’t leave garments to soak for too long, it is
recommended not to use this function with
this programme.
Drying and ironing:
•
Open the garment out on a towel to absorb
excess water without wringing (pat the
garment lightly against the towel).
•
Never dry silk garments in direct sunlight.
•
Iron from the reverse side when the fabric is
still slightly damp.
•
To avoid water marks, do not spray with
water and do not use a steam iron.
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 or
a chlorine bleach.
•
Particularly stubborn stains should be treated
before the wash.
