12.5 Fluff in the fabrics
During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool,
sweatshirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fab-
rics during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with techni-
cal fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we
recommend that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured fab-
rics (new sponge, wool, sweatshirt )
and the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air
when they are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the emp-
ty drum, the gasket and the door with
a wet cloth.
To remove the fluff inside the drum,
set a special programme:
• Empty the drum.
