Advice and tips before washing
Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• colour
• material
Clothing
• Do up zips so that they don’t harm fabrics.
• New coloured items may contain excess
dye and should therefore be washed
separately the first few times.
• Turn delicate items inside out. This
reduces the risk of burling and fading.
• Empty pockets and wash them inside out
if possible!
Laundry labels
Look at the item's laundry label. The table
below shows recommended wash programs
for different materials and wash loads. With
an ASKO washer in conjunction with modern
day detergents, it is a good idea to trial and
error to find out what produces the best
results.

Advice and tips before washing
Coloured cotton
Coloured cotton items with the washing
instruction 60 °C should be washed at 60 °C
for the first time in order to remove any excess
dye. If you do not do so, there is a risk that
the colour will run. Use detergent without
bleach in order to preserve the colour of the
fabric.
Delicates
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed
at 60 °C, using detergent containing no bleach
or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can
occasionally be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often because the
heat can destroy the linen’s shine and
strength.
Wool and silk
These fabrics are sometimes labelled as
machine washable and sometimes as hand
wash. The machine's Wool/Hand program is
just as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such
as washing.
If you do not wish to spin dry, you can
squeeze out the water using terry towels. In
this case select No spin.
To find out how to select this setting, see the
“Washing” chapter. However, most items can
withstand a short spin. Select short spin by
selecting a spin speed below 800 rpm.
