Washing hints
You are advised not to leave your laundry too long,
especially when damp. Damp laundry produces mould
and unpleasant smells.
Mould stains cannot be removed.
Sort your laundry.
Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the
symbols used on clothes labels.
The following points are particularly important:
= a line under the bowl means that the garment
cannot be washed using programmes for resistant
fabrics such as cotton and linen;
= donot mix coloured garments with whites;
= anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should
be treated as synthetics;
= non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain
materials should be treated as delicate fabrics;
a the wool programme is designed specifically for
pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mix-
tures may shrink or felt if machine-washed.
Woollen garments should be spun briefly immedi-
ately after washing.
Pre-wash
Pre-wash is not normally necessary. Your new wash-
ing machine combined with modern detergents will
give perfect washing results without pre-wash, thus
saving energy, time, water and detergent.
However, when the laundry is particularly dirty (for
example if you have to wash mechanics’ overalls or
butchers’ aprons), you are advised to use prewash
with a biological detergent.
Temperatures
We suggest that white cotton and linen, if it is not
excessively soiled, can be washed at 60° instead of
95°. There should be no reduction in performance, but
there will be an energy saving of approximately 30%.
The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured
garments.
They usually require a temperature of 60° but if they
are not excessively dirty, you will have satisfactory
results at 40°.
Garments with non-fast colours should not be washed
at temperatures above 40°. If fast and nonfast colours
are washed together, they should be treated as non-
fast colours and therefore the temperature should not
exceed 40°.
Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally
be washed at 60° but also in this case 40° is sufficient
if the laundry is not excessively dirty.
20
Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours
and woollen garments must never be washed above
40°. If only one of the labels specifies 30°, this tem-
perature must be selected for the whole wash. In most
cases these garments can withstand 40° but Zanussi
cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by
washing at temperatures higher than those specified.
How much laundry can be washed in one
load?
For cotton and linen items as well as for synthetics
and wool refer to the quantities indicated on the pro-
gramme charts.
Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laun-
dry.
As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you
estimate the weight according to how full the drum is:
cotton and linen: drum full but not too tightly paced
resistant synthetics: no more than '/2 of the drum
delicate fabrics and wool: no more than '/3 of the
drum.
Before placing the laundry in the machine:
mend ail tears, holes and ladders;
secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips;
do not wash frayed garments - mend hems before
washing;
remove all small objects from pockets. Nails, pins,
clips and similar objects can seriously damage your
washing machine and laundry;
remove curtain hooks;
wash coloured garments and in particular those with
non-fast colours separately when washing for the first
time. They are likely to lose colour the first time they
are washed.
treat obstinate stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint,
ink etc. with a stain remover before washing.
To remove paint stains, for example, use a volatile
substance such as turpentine: in this case, you should
wait for it to dry completely before washing.
Zanussi is not responsible for any damage deriving
from the use of volatile, inflammable or toxic sub-
stances.
