THE PRODUCT
IMPORTANT:
When washing heavy rugs, bed spreads and
other heavy articles, it is advisable not to spin
them as damage may occur.
To be machine-washed, woollen garments
must bear the machine washable label.
IMPORTANT:
When sorting articles ensure that:
- there are no metal objects in the washing
(e.g. brooches, safety pins, pins, coins etc.).
- cushion covers are buttoned, zips and hooks
are closed, loose belts and long tapes on
dressing gowns are knotted.
- runners from curtains are removed.
- attention is paid to garment labels.
- when sorting, any tough stains should be
removed prior to washing using only those
stain removers recommended on label.

CHAPTER 8
PROGRAMME SELECTION
ADVICE
For the various types of fabrics and levels of
soiling the washing machine has 2 different
programme bands. Wash cycle, temperature
and length of cycle (see table of washing cycle
programmes).
There is also a pre-wash cycle which can be
used with especially dirty laundry.
1 Resistants Fabrics (heavy cottons)
The programmes have been designed for a
maximum wash and rinses, with spin intervals,
which ensure perfect rinsing. The gradual
reduction of the water temperature ensures less
fabrics creasing and the final spin gives a more
efficient water extraction.
2 Wool and mixed or Delicate Fibres
This is a wash cycle which alternates washing
and soaking and is particularly recommended
for very delicate fabrics such as machine
washable wool. The wash cycle and rinses are
carried out with high water levels to ensure the
best results.
