Preparing the laundry for washing
Sorting the laundry
m Sort the laundry according to the symbols on
the labels.
! Wool or wool composite knitwear must inĆ
clude the indication «Will not shrink» or «MaĆ
chine washable».
Items labelled with the following symbol should
not be washed in the machine: B
m Sort laundry by colours. Wash whites and
colours separately, otherwise white garĆ
ments may change colour.
! New colour garments should be washed
separately. Risk of colour running.
m Sort the laundry according to the maximum
permitted load for the machine. Do not overĆ
load the machine, as this greatly reduces its
performance and the result of the wash.
Maximum load allowable for washing:
Resistentes/Algod. 6,00 kg
Sintèticos, Mix 3,00 kg
Delicado, Lana/lã u,
Rápido 2,00 kg
Practical guidelines
! Remove foreign bodies and metal objects
(safety pins, clips, ...) from clothing.
! Remove bits of sand by brushing clothing.
! Do up all zips and buttons of cushion
covers.
m Wash very delicate laundry (tights, curĆ
tains...) and very small items (socks, handĆ
kerchiefs...) in a net or cushion cover.
m Turn trousers and knitwear inside out (shirts,
sweatshirts...).
m Make sure that bras with items inserted
(hoops, etc.) are suitable for washing in the
washing machine.
! Put bras with inserted items into a cushion
cover, since these items may fall through the
drum if they come loose and damage the
washing machine.
Removing stains
When stains appear, they should be treated or
removed immediately with soap and water. Do
not rub vigorously on the clothing. Stains that are
very stubborn or dry sometimes only vanish after
several washes.
