Coloured cotton: work garments, sheets, household linen, underwear, towels.
Washing programmes 22 Washing programmes Programme/ Temperature Type of laundry Description of programme Options Separate rinse cycle for hand washed items. 3 rinses Long spin Drain For emptying out the last rinse water in programmes with the Rinse Hold option. Draining of water Spin Separate spin for all type of fabric. Drain and long spin Refresh Quick wash for sport items, or cotton and synthetics items lightly soiled or worn once.
Programme information 23 Programme information Easy Iron Wool Handwash Delicate rinses Drain Selecting this programme the laundry is gently washed and spun to avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is easier. Furthermore the machine will perform additional rinses. Washing programme for machine washable wool as well as for hand washable woollens and delicate fabrics with the “hand washing” care symbol .
Preparing the wash cycle 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 25 Maximum loads Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts. General rules: Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; Synthetics: drum no more than half full; Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full. 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 Removing stains Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing. Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water. Oil based paint:: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Preparing the wash cycle 27 Detergents and additives Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature. The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
Preparing the wash cycle Degrees of water hardness Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. Note: A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).

Care and cleaning Care and cleaning You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. Descaling The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine.
