Refer to the table on the previous page for sorting your washing and choose the
programme appropriate to the labels. For mixed loads, use the programme for the most
delicate clothes.
For new items, take the precaution of checking that the fabric won’t run: see "Colour
test" below.
The colour test
At the first wash, dyed material often runs,
unless guaranteed fully colour-fast. Before
putting it in the machine, test follows:
- Take a non visible part of the item,
- Wet it with hot water,
- Press it with white fabric.
• If the material does not run, you can
wash it normally in the machine.
• If the material runs, wash it separately
in the machine or by hand.
Checking the washing
Not following the advice below may cause
serious or even irreparable damage
(damaged drum, torn washing, etc.):
- Empty pockets.
- Close zips and press-studs.
- Remove curtain hooks or put net curtains
in a wash bag.
- Remove loose buttons, pins and staples.
- Put small items of washing (ribbons,
pocket hankies, etc.) in a wash bag.
