Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally be washed at 60°C but also in this case 40°C is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty. Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours and woollen garments must never be washed above 40°C. As you already know, your washing machine can also wash with cold water. However, it must be remembered that the detergents currently on the market have not been designed for cold washes and that in winter, when the water is very cold, they may not dissolve adequately. We suggest the use of liquid detergents. Sort your laundry. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 13). The following points are particularly important : - a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; - do not mix coloured garments with whites; - anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; - non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics; - the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. The manufacturer of your washing machine is not responsible for any damage deriving from the use of volatile, inflammable or toxic substances. Liquid detergents It is possible to use a liquid detergent for main wash phases if you use a ball-type packaging ball and if you start the washing machine immediately Liquid detergents can be used instead of powder detergents particularly for lightly soiled laundry and for medium or low temperature washing programmes, while it is better to use a powder detergent for high temperature washing programmes. At the end of the washing Damp laundry should be dried as soon as possible after finishing the wash. Knitwear and woollens should be dried flat away from direct sunlight. Liquid additives Any liquid additives for softening the laundry of the must be poured into the compartment detergent dispenser drawer before starting the programme. The addition of water softener is particularly useful when drying the clothes in a tumble dryer after washing to avoid a static charge. Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAXI level. Detergents and additives Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which in large quantities can damage the delicate ecological balance of nature. Always use good quality detergents suitable for use in washing machines. Follow the indications given by the detergent manufacturer according to the weight of laundry, the degree of soil and the hardness of the water in your area; if you do not know how hard it is, ask your local Water Authority. Bleach You may use a bleach agent in all the washing programmes. However, make sure that the fabric withstands the treatment. Bleach is automatically washed down into the drum. Pour 1/4 to 1 glass of 12° chl bleach into compartment " " before switching the machine on. Make sure that the level of the liquid never exceeds the MAXI level. Powder detergents The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the programme.
