Washing Types and Care Symbols
The care symbols help you choose the correct wash programme. Wash-
ing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The tempera-
tures indicated in the care symbols are all maximum temperatures.

stand maximum wash actions and high temperatures. The COTTONS/

for this type of washing.
