11. d garments with whites anticrease materials like polyester cotton should be treated as synthetics EM non resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics M the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine washed Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing Pre wash Pre wash is not normally necessary Your new washing 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 pre wash with a biological detergent Temperatures When you see 40 60 for example on the programme chart it means that you can select 40 or 60 as you wish or a temperature between these two 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
12. fast and non fast 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 50 but also in this case 40 is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty 14 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 temperature must be selected for the whole wash In most cases these garments can withstand 40 but Tricity Bendix cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by washing at temperatures higher than those specified in the programmes for delicate fabrics and wool there is a safety device in case a temperature higher than 40 is selected by mistake How much laundry can be washed in one load Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry The drum will take a maximum of 4 5 kg of cotton and linen For synthetics and delicate fabrics the maximum load is 2 kg and for wool 1 kg 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 packed resistant synthetics no more than 74 of the drum delicate fabrics and wool no more than of the drum Before placing the laundry in the machine mend all tears holes and ladders secure loose buttons and close poppers and zips
