Maximum washing loads depending on the nature of the fibers

The quantity of washing added into the drum must not exceed the

maximum capacity of the machine. This capacity varies depending on

the nature of the textiles.

Wash smaller amounts if your washing is very dirty, and for absorbent

fabrics.

Maximum load

Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention

capacity.

This is why the drum may usually be filled:

- completely but without excessive pressure for cotton, linen, blend

washing,

- half full for treated cotton and synthetic fibers,

- about one third full for delicate articles such as net curtains and

woolens.

For blends, fill the drum as you would for the most delicate fibers.

The following is a guide of the average weights of frequently washed

items.
