Colored cotton

Colored cotton items labeled 140 °F (60 °C)

should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C) the first time

in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not

do so, there is a risk that the color will run. Use

detergent without bleach in order to preserve the

color of the fabric.

Unbleached linen

Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at

140 °F (60 °C), using detergent containing no

bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen

can occasionally be washed at higher

temperatures, but not too often as the heat can

destroy the linen’s sheen and strength.

Wool

These fabrics are labeled either machine wash

or hand wash. The Wool/Hand Wash program is

at least as gentle as washing by hand.

Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as

washing.

If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze

out the water using terrycloth towels. In this case

select No spin.

To find out how to choose this setting, see the

"Operating instructions" chapter. However, most

garments can withstand a short spin. Choose a

short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm

or less.

Rayon fibers and synthetic fibers

Materials made of rayon fibers, such as viscose,

and some synthetic fibers are very delicate and

require much space to avoid wrinkling. Only half

fill the drum when washing and choose a spin

speed of 800 rpm or lower.

NOTE!

Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.

Reducing allergic reactions

The washing machine has a Super Rinse option.

Use this for people with sensitive skin, such as

those with allergies and small children.

Economy and efficiency

You can save a lot of energy by not using higher

temperature programs than necessary.

•

Select Quick if you just need to freshen up

shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This

will save both water and energy.

•

If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces

energy consumption when drying in a tumble

dryer or drying cabinet.

•

Always wash with a full load when using the

Sani, White, and White programs.

•

Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and

detergents clean effectively without

pre-washing. Pre-washing is only necessary

for heavily soiled laundry.

Detergents

Eco-labeled detergents are less harmful to the

environment.

Detergent overdosing does not give better

washing results; it merely causes a greater impact

on the environment.

Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you

are not satisfied with the results.

Dyeing fabrics

If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select

the White program with the Super Rinse option.

Select the temperature according to the dye

manufacturer’s recommendations.

Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be dyed

is a blended material, such as

polyester/cotton.

NOTE!

Add the dye directly to the washing drum – not

to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you

should run the machine empty using the same

program. Use the normal amount of detergent.
