USING THE WASHING MACHINE
Here, you will find some instructions about how to use the symbols that you might find on your washing machine
1. Separate the clothes and put them in the drum
The first step is to separate the clothes by colours or materials. Sort the clothes to avoid the colours from staining other items and to make the washing more efficient.
2. Choose the washing setting
Choose the setting which is most suitable according to your needs. The most common are:
(1) synthetic, (2) cotton, (3) delicates, (4) wool, (5) quick wash, (6) saver/ECO, our favourite!
3. Adjust the water temperature
Every setting has a predetermined temperature. Even so, in some cases you can adjust it if you need to:
(1) temp. 30°, (2) temp. 40°, (3) temp. 60°, (4) temp. 70°, (5) temp. 90°.
Let’s help look after our environment by using lower temperatures or ECO settings!
4. Detergent and Fabric Softener
Add a detergent (1), the fabric softener (2) and/or the bleach in the washing machine box.
Each compartment is indicated with these symbols. Add the sufficient amount according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Start and pause the wash
After the previous steps, you just have to press the start button (1). The washing machine will start and stop as soon as the indicated washing programme ends.
Wait a few minutes before opening the door.
You can also pause and resume it (2) if necessary.
Still not starting?
It is possible that the washing machine isn’t starting because the door is not shut properly. Press it and make sure that it is closed correctly.
