Delicates
Microfibres, easy-cares or curtains marked with these symbols require a
very gentle treatment.
The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric.
Woollens and particularly delicate items
Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are par-
ticularly sensitive to machine washing.
The WOOLLENS programme is suitable for this type of fabric.
Fabrics marked with the
symbol (wool) can be machine washed only
if the label indicates “does not felt” or “machine washable”.
If the label has the symbol
(do not wash), the garments must not be
machine washed!
