Useful advice for users Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way Do a full load in your washing machine To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the recommended maximum load size. Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes Liquid detergent dosage Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents. When is prewashing really needed? Only with particularly dirty loads!Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled laundry. Which wash temperature should you choose? Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60°C. Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than 90°C. Before using a drying programme. . . SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme. 18 19 Main wash Sorting the laundry It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items. If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them. Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and treatment of the laundry Laundry for hot wash Coloured, easy-care materials Delicates and wool Wash by hand Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing: Dry clean For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc. , you are advised to use a laundry net or wash bag. Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the machine , and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable". Colour often leaks from new coloured items. This can then colour other lighter items being washed. We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately. For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C. The correct way to wash Preparing the laundry A) Select the laundry. Loading the laundry B) Open the porthole. C) Put the laundry in the washing machine. Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock. Putting detergent in machine D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the correct amount, according to the manufacturer's instructions and the advice on page 17.
