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 detergent into the correct compartment in the
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.
