Never use your washer-
dryer to wash... torn, fraying or
non-hemmed linen. If it is
absolutely neccessary, place it in
a bag for protection. Do not wash
coloured linen with whites.

5 kg maximum

How to wash almost anything
Curtains.
Curtains tend to crease a great
deal. A useful tip to reduce
creasing: fold the curtains and
place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Do not load anything
else inside the appliance, this
will ensure that the overall
weight does not exceed the half
load. Remember to use the
specific programme 10 which
automatically excludes the spin
cycle.
Trainers.
Once you have removed mud
and dirt from trainers, you can
even wash them with jeans or
any other tough garments. Do
not wash trainers with whites.
Quilted coats and anorak.
You can wash quilted coats and
wind-cheaters, too, if they are
padded with goose or duck
down. Do not load more than
2-3 kg and never load 5 kg.
Repeat rinse once or twice
using the gentle spin.
How much does it weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 gr.
1 pillow case 150-200 gr.
1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.
1 towel 150-250 gr.
Coloured T-shirts, printed
ones and shirts last longer if turned
inside out before washing.
Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts
should always be ironed inside out.
Dungaree alert.
Very popular “salopette” type
overalls have straps with hooks
that can damage the drum of your
washer-dryer or other garments
during the wash. To minimise the
risk, place hooks in the pocket
and fasten with safety pins.
Holidays: unplug the
appliance.
It is recommended that you
should unplug the machine from
the socket and turn off the water
supply. Leave the door ajar to
allow air circulation to the draw
and the door gasket area. This will
prevent unpleasant odours.

For best results, we
recommend you use a
specific detergent, taking
care not to wash more than
1 kg of laundry.
WOOL CYCLE
Cashmere Gold: As gentle as a hand wash
The first Washing Machine to have "The Woolmark Company" recognition.
The Cashmere Gold wash
programme has been studied
for its machine wash ability,
which enables washing for
even the most delicate and
valuable of wool or Cashmere
garments.
“The Merloni Elettrodomesti-
ci wool wash cycle has been
tested and approved by The
Woolmark Company for washing Woolmark garments
labelled as “hand wash”. This
is the first gentle action hand
wash cycle approved by The
Woolmark Company.”
M.00221
This has been made possible
thanks to the speed of the drum
at 90 rpm, even during the
rinse cycle, thus preventing
the fibres from rubbing. Always use programme 9 with
garments bearing the hand wash
drawing; represented by the
washbasin and the hand.
To take care of your woollen
items, we recommend you use
special detergents.
