Sort the laundry as follows: whites,
coloureds, synthetics, delicates,
woollens.
6.1 Sorting The Laundry
6.2 Temperatures
90°C
60°C
50°C
40°C
30°C
Cold
For normally soiled,
colourfast garments (e.g.
shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton
or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g.underwear).
For delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry
including synthetic fibres
and woollens bearing the
label pure new wool,

cottons and linen
(e.g. teacloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...).
Never wash whites and coloureds
together. Whites may lose their

washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a
special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care.

Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
6.3 Before Loading The
Laundry
Recommended loads are indicated
in the program charts. General
rules:
Washing a maximum load makes
the most efficient use of water and
energy. For heavily soiled laundry,
reduce the load size.

too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more
than half full;
Delicate
fabrics and
woollens:

to treat them prior to washing.
6.5 Removing Stains

ENGLISH 19
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot
water or a rust removing product
used in cold water. Be careful with
rust stains which are not recent
since the cellulose structure will
already have been damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach,
rinse well (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with
bleach (whites and fast coloureds
only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten
with acetone (*), lay the garment on
a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*)

methylated spirits. Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics
with bleach.
The detergent and any additives
must be placed in the appropriate
compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash
program.
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.
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.
Only low suds Front load washer

plastic materials reducing its
life.
