Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■
Type of fabric/fibre

Colour
Note:
Laundry may discolour. Wash
white and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■
Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of soiling levels can
be found in the chapter
–

: Do not need to pretreat,
adjust the
Speed
setting if
necessary.
–
Normal
–

: Load less laundry, need
to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.

with the appropriate programme.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can

Notes
■
Before drying, hand-washed textiles
must be spun at the appropriate spin
speed.
■
Before drying, spin at the optimum
speed. A spin speed of more than
1000 rpm is recommended for
cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy-
care textiles.
■
Do not iron washing immediately
after drying. It is recommended to
roll the washing up first to distribute
residual moisture evenly.
■
To ensure a good drying
performance, quilts, terry cloths and
other large textiles should be dried
separately. Do not dry more than 6
terry cloths (or 5 kg).
■
Do not exceed the maximum load.
