Sorting your laundry :

Refer to the textile care codes table for sorting
your laundry and choose the program that best
suits the labels. For mixed loads, use the pro-
gram suited to the most delicate laundry. For
new laundry, take the precaution of checking
that the fabric does not bleed: see 

"Colour

test"

opposite.

•The colour test :

At the first wash, coloured laundry often
bleeds, except if it is guaranteed colourfast.
Before placing it in the machine, perform the
following test:
— Take an inconspicuous part of the item
— Dampen it using hot water
— Then press it against a white cloth
— If the colour does not bleed, you can wash it
normally in the machine.
— If the colour does bleed, wash it separately
in the machine or by hand.

• PREPARING YOUR LAUNDRY (continued)

The fibres in your laundry are of varying types
and origins; their reaction to drying is there-
fore very variable
Generally speaking, all machine-washable
fabrics may be dried in a tumble dryer except
for :
— wool, silk, netting and nylon tights or
stockings
— plasticised fabrics
— chlorofibres (Thermolactyl* for example)
— laundry items with plastic foam, rubber or
reinforcements that would be likely to become
detached

* : Registered trademark

— bulky items (quilts, eiderdowns, etc.)
— unwashed or unspun laundry
— laundry that has been cleaned using chemi-
cals

Important :

Avoid drying light textiles and heavy

cotton textiles together as the weight of the
heavy fabrics crushes the lighter ones.

Important :

It is preferable to dry non-colourfast

fabrics separately.

•Checking your laundry before drying

Substances contained in soiling such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain remo-
vers, turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm
water washing program with additional detergent for example).

• LOADING YOUR LAUNDRY

Conduct operations in the following order:

•Opening the machine

— Check that the machine is switched off.
— Press the knob located at the front of the
machine. The lid opens.

•Opening/Closing the drum

— Open the drum by pushing on the knob loca-
ted on the front door 

(Fig. 14).

— To close them again, push the front door
downwards then close the rear door on top,
until it locks.

Important :

For correct locking, check that the blue  

edging

of the knob is visible (Fig. 15).
