Washcare tips and Starting
Useful tips
Never use your washing machine to wash... torn, fraying or
non-hemmed linen. If it is absolutely neccessary, place it
in a bag for protection. Do not wash colored linen with
whites.
Watch the weights!
For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated
below (figures show weight of dry garments):
- Resistant fabrics (heavy - regular-light cotton):
15 lbs (7 kg) maximum
- Synthetic fabrics (heavy-regular-light):
7.5 lbs (3.4 kg) maximum
- Delicate fabrics
6.5 lbs (3 kg) maximum
Denim Alert.
Some overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the
drum of your washing machine or other garments during the
wash. To minimize the risk, place hooks in the pocket and
fasten with safety pins.
- Pure new wool
3.5 lbs (1,8 kg) maximum
- Bathrobe 6.5 lbs (3 kg) maximum
For more delicate garments:
protect underwear, tights and stockings and
delicate items by placing them in a linen bag

Wool cycle
Cashmere Platinum
As gentle as a hand wash.
Ariston is the only washing machine to have
obtained the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care
mark of recognition (M.0303) from The Woolmark
Company, which certifies the machine washing of
all woollen garments, even those whose label states "hand
wash only" .
The "Wool" program therefore offers you complete
peace of mind when washing all woollen
garments, with great performance guaranteed every time.
For best results, we recommend you use very little detergent,
taking care not to wash more than 3.5 lbs (1,8 Kg) of
laundry.
Vacations: 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.
