Advice and tips before washing Here are some tips that may help you before washing. Sorting your laundry Sort items according to: • how soiled they are • colour • material Clothing • Do up zips so that they don’t harm fabrics. • New coloured items may contain excess dye and should therefore be washed separately the first few times. • Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and fading.
Wool and silk These fabrics are sometimes labelled as machine washable and sometimes as hand wash. The machine’s Wool/Hand programme is at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as washing. If you do not want to spin it, you can squeeze out the water using terry towels. In this case select No spin. To find out how to select this setting, see the “Washing” chapter. However, most items can stand a short spin. Select short spin by selecting spin speed 800 rpm.
