13. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with
the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first couple
of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items
with printed illustrations inside out.
• Pre-treat stubborn stains.
• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing
bag or pillowcase.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading to
excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and open the
door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so that
the items are spaced evenly around
the tub;
