Preparing the wash cycle

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be

washed at 60°C.

Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore

the washing temperature must not exceed these values.

Synthetics

Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle

wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific

programme.
