Preparing the wash cycle 25 Preparing the wash cycle Sorting out the laundry Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens. Temperatures 95° or 90° for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...). 60°/50° for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....
Preparing the wash cycle Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Preparing the wash cycle 27 Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach. Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly. Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste. (*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Preparing the drying cycle Use less detergent if: • you are washing a small load, • the laundry is lightly soiled, • large amounts of foam form during washing. For the stain treatment before the washing cycl, follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on detergent quantities. If you use any specific product to remove the stains, you must start the cycle of washing immediately . Degrees of water hardness Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff. • Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying. • To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers. • Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
