10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are
on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and col-
oured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend that
you wash them separately for the first
times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted illustra-
tions.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a wash-
ing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance laundry
without hems or with cuts. Use a wash-
ing bag to wash small items (e.g. un-
derwired bras, belts, tights, etc).
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in the
tub and start the spin phase again.
10.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the ap-
pliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applica-
ble to the type of stain and fabric.
10.3 Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives spe-
cially made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fab-
rics (40°C max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes
(60°C max) for all types of fabric, or
special for woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of deter-
gents.
