Wool and silk
Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine
wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and
Hand programmes of the machine are at least
as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical
processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying,
you can press out the water instead using terry
towelling. In this case, you should select No
Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing for details of how
to select this setting.
Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho-
wever. The Wool and Hand programmes al-
ways include a short spin.
Man-made fibres and synthetic fibres
These materials require a lot of space if they are
not to crease. Fill the drum only to half load
when washing man-made/synthetic fibres. Se-
lect a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800
revolutions/minute or lower.
NOTE
Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.
MINIMIZING ALLERGY RISKS
This washing machine offers a Super rinse func-
tion
. You should use this to take account
of persons with a sensitive skin, for example
persons with allergies and infants.
PRE-SOAKING
The Pre-soaking option
2h
means that your
washing will be soaked for two hours before the
programme starts. This is useful for highly soi-
led washing.
The drum will rotate on two occasions every
tenth minute.
SAVE TIME
Use the White/Coloured programme to save
time. This programme has a shorter main wash
than ”Normal”, but it is often sufficient for nor-
mally soiled washing.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
You can save a lot of energy by not using a
stronger programme than necessary.
- Without increasing the temperature, the wash-
ing effect can be increased by selecting the
option. You will then save energy without lo-
sing any washing effect.
- Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy
consumption for subsequent drying in a tumble
dryer or a drying cabinet.
- Select Quick if you simply need to freshen up
shirts or training kit, etc. You will save both
water and energy.
