Preparing the wash cycle
Sorting out and preparing the laundry
 Sort out the laundry according to type of fabrics and care labels (see “Typesof fabric and care labels”).
 Empty pockets.
 Remove any metal parts (safety pins, clips, etc.).
 To prevent the laundry from getting damaged and forming bundles, it is advisable to close zips, button up pillowcases and quilt covers and tie up
loose straps such as those of aprons.
 Turn double faced items inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.)
 Turn coloured knitted fabrics, woollens and fabrics with trim inside out.
 Wash small and delicate items (baby socks, tights) inside a laundry net\
 or in a pillow case closed with a zip, or in larger socks.
 Treat curtains with special care. Remove all metal or plastic hooks or put them in a net or a bag. We decline any responsibility in case of damage.
 Whites and coloureds must be washed separately: white items can loose their whiteness.
 New coloured fabrics often have excess dyes; it is advisable to wash them separately for the first time.
 Wash small and large items together; this improves the washing result and the laundry is better distributed during spinning.
 Shake out garments before putting them into the machine.
 Insert each garment separately.
