IRONING Ironing: up to 200°C - up to 150°C - up to 110°C No ironing Instructions for Use 11 Colour Fastness Pay special attention to colour fastness, and always choose the correct washing temperature. When washing new clothes, always check colour fastness first - wash separately the first time. Degree of Soil Stained and heavily soiled laundry should be washed in small loads or with a larger amount of washing powder. Heavily stained or soiled areas on the fabric can be treated before washing using special agents. Use the energy-saving programme for lightly soiled laundry (no pre-wash, economic programme, lower washing temperature). Loading The maximum load of dry laundry is stated in the table. Excessive loads cause creases and decrease the washing effect. Always check the pockets before loading the laundry. Remove keys, coins, hair-pins and similar objects that may clog the water outlet hose. Zip the zippers and remove metal pins that may damage the laundry or even the drum (fig. 11). 11 Folded clothes should be loosened before loading. The best washing effect is obtained by mixing larger and smaller items of laundry in one load. 12 Instructions for Use Washing Agents and How Much to Use Use only washing powder for machine washing.
