Advice and tips before washing Colored cotton Colored cotton items labeled 140 °F (60 °C) should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C) the first time in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not do so, there is a risk that the color will run. Use detergent without bleach in order to preserve the color of the fabric. Unbleached linen Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C), using detergent containing no bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can occasionally be washed at higher temperatures, but not too often as the heat can destroy the linen's sheen and strength. Wool These fabrics are labeled either machine wash or hand wash. The Wool/Hand Wash program is at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as washing. If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze out the water using terrycloth towels. In this case select No spin. To find out how to choose this setting, see the "Operating instructions" chapter. However, most garments can withstand a short spin. Choose a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm or less. Rayon fibers and synthetic fibers Materials made of rayon fibers, such as viscose, and some synthetic fibers are very delicate and require much space to avoid wrinkling. Only half fill the drum when washing and choose a spin speed of 800 rpm or lower. NOTE! Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet. Reducing allergic reactions The washing machine has a Super Rinse option. Use this for people with sensitive skin, such as those with allergies and small children. Economy and efficiency You can save a lot of energy by not using higher temperature programs than necessary. • Select Quick if you just need to freshen up shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This will save both water and energy. • If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces energy consumption when drying in a tumble dryer or drying cabinet. • Always wash with a full load when using the Sani, White, and White programs. • Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and detergents clean effectively without pre-washing. Pre-washing is only necessary for heavily soiled laundry. Detergents Eco-labeled detergents are less harmful to the environment. Detergent overdosing does not give better washing results; it merely causes a greater impact on the environment. Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you are not satisfied with the results. Dyeing fabrics If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select the White program with the Super Rinse option. Select the temperature according to the dye manufacturer's recommendations. Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be dyed is a blended material, such as polyester/cotton. NOTE! Add the dye directly to the washing drum - not to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you should run the machine empty using the same program. Use the normal amount of detergent.
