Curtains tend to crease a great

place them in a pillow case or

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.
Holidays: unplug the
appliance.

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.
