Washing recommendations
Bed and bathroom laundry (sheets, towels,
bathrobes, etc.): use the WHITE COTTONS
programme which guarantees the most efficient
wash in Class A appliances. The intensive spin
cycle eliminates all excess water efficiently.
White cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts,
tablecloths, etc.): use the WHITE COTTONS 60°
programme. If there are any stubborn stains, they
should be pre-treated with solid soap before the
wash cycle is started.
Coloured cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts,
underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX 40°
programme, which maximises the performance of
the wash without damaging the colours. The spin
cycle phase, thanks to the incorporated EASY
IRON function, reduces the formation of creases
at the end of the wash, making the fabric easier
to iron. We recommend the use of liquid
detergent.
White or coloured synthetic garments (shirts,
T-shirts, underwear, etc.): use the COLOUR MIX
40°
programme. We recommend that white
and coloured garments are not washed in the
same wash cycle, to prevent any colour leakage
from seeping into the white clothing. We
recommend the use of liquid detergent.
Coloured synthetic and cotton garments, with
wash at 30°
instruction on the care label: use
the DELICATES 30°
programme with final spin.
The low washing temperature protects the coloured
fabrics. If you require a quick wash, use the RAPID
WASH 30 programme, placing the detergents in
the relevant drawer.
Woollen garments (jumpers, scarves, etc.): use
the DELICATES 30°
programme with final spin.
The movement of the drum during the wash and
the delicate spin cycle reduces fabric matting. We
recommend the use of detergents specifically
designed for woollen garments. We recommend
that the maximum load level is not exceeded.
Silk garments (shirts, underwear, etc.): use the
DELICATES 30°
programme with the spin
excluded. Try not to leave the laundry in the drum
for too long after the wash cycle has finished, to
prevent excessive creasing.
Curtains: use the DELICATES 30°
programme
with the spin excluded. We recommend they are
folded and placed inside a pillowcase or a mesh
bag. Wash them separately, making sure the
maximum load level is not exceeded.
