7 BEFORE WASHING Before you start washing, here is some advice that can be useful. SORTING THE WASHING Sort garments in relation to: • How soiled they are • Colour • Material GARMENTS • Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe against other items.
Wool and silk Sometimes marked machine wash and someti- mes hand wash. The Wool/hand wash program of the machine is at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying, press out the water thoroughly using terry to- wels.

Two rinses are added to the other programs. Recommended for persons who have sensitive skin, eg, allergic persons or infants. Also use this function when dyeing fabrics. Economy and efficiency If you choose this option the main wash will be prolonged by about 22 minutes.
