11.5 Fluff in the fabrics
During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool,
sweatshirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics
during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical
fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we
recommend that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured fabrics
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt ) and the
contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air
when they are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty
drum, the gasket and the door with a
wet cloth.
To remove the fluff inside the drum,
set a special programme:
• Empty the drum.
• Clean the drum, the gasket and the
door with a wet cloth.
• Set the rinse programme.
• Press at the same time
and to
activate the cleaning function until the
display shows CLE.
• Press to start the programme.
12. HINTS AND TIPS
12.1 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.
