Wash Care Symbols

Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The care labelling
code is in line with care labelling used in the rest of Europe. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct
programme on your washing machine.

Important Notes

For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.
Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing
it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using

fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the
machine prematurely.
When using liquid detergent and a prewash
programme, place the main wash detergent into the
corresponding compartment of the dispenser drawer,
after the prewash has finished.
