Washing and Drying hints
Sorting 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
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds
together. Whites may lose their
“whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first
wash; they should therefore be washed
separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a
special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag
or net.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels as
these can attract the fluff.
Remove the laundry when the appli-
ance 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.
Particularly delicate items such as syn-
thetic curtains, woollen and silk, gar-
ments with metal inserts, nylon stock-
ings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and
duvets must not be machine dried.
Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must
not be machine dried; they represent a
fire hazard.
Also, fabrics containing residues of set-
ting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents
or similar solutions must not be
machine dried in order to avoid the for-
mation of harmful vapours.
For drying, follow the indications given
on the manufacturer’s labels.
