• Treat curtains with special care. Remove curtain hooks
and put net curtains in a net bag or a sachet.

6.2. Washing load depending on the na-

ture of the material
The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not
exceed the maximum capacity of your washing machine.
This capacity may vary depending on the nature of your tex-
tiles. Reduce the quantity of washing if it is very dirty or if
you have terry cloth type materials.

Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water
retention capacity. This is why in general the drum should
be filled:

• completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton

and linen, and for mixed washe,
• half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers,
• about one third full for very delicate articles such as net
curtains and wool.

For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most de-
licate material.
