Preparing The Laundry - Asko W600 Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

SPIN OPTIONS
ASKO washers have faster spin speeds than most other
washers, which decreases the time it takes to dry your
laundry by up to half. The spin speeds range from 600
rpm to 1600 rpm, depending on the model.
You can also turn the spin cycle off. Using this feature
with the Wool/Hand wash program is a perfect
substitute for hand washing.

PREPARING THE LAUNDRY

We believe ASKO washers clean better than any other
washer available on the market. With proper attention
to how you prepare your laundry items for washing, your
wardrobe and linens will look like new for years.
SORTING THE CLOTHES
Sort clothes by fiber content, color, amount of soil, lint
shedding properties (e.g., cotton, chenille, and
terrycloth), lint attracting properties (e.g., permanent
press, corduroy, velveteen, flannel and synthetics) and
those requiring a delicate cycle (e.g., washable wool
and silk, nylon).
CARE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
Most clothes and other washable items have permanent
care labels. Read these labels carefully! Care label
instructions and warnings should be followed for the
best cleaning results.
If the care label says "Wash Separately," the fabric is
likely to lose color (excess dye) for the first few washings.
To minimize the possibility of the color transferring to
white or lighter colored items, wash new colored
garments with items of similar color or separately. Bright
reds and oranges on cottons are the dyes most likely to
transfer colors to the wash load. Fluorescent colors
should always be washed separately.
RECOMMENDED LOAD SIZES
To reduce wrinkling, you should determine the load size
based on the type(s) of fabrics being washed. The chart
below gives recommended load sizes for different fabrics.
Load Size Fabrics
Full Cotton, linen
Half Perm press, synthetics, acrylics
Third Special finish cottons, machine
washable wool, silk, acetates
Cotton and Linen Fabrics
These items should be washed in full loads because
the tumble action of the tub along with the gentle rubbing
and lifting and falling movement of the clothes gives the
best cleaning result.
Permanent Press Fabrics
These items need more room to move freely during
washing for the most wrinkle-free results. Therefore, fill

ADVICE FOR PERSONS WITH
SENSITIVE SKIN
ASKO washers are ideal for people allergic to detergent.
Our Heavy, Normal and Light wash programs have five
rinse cycles and a Super Rinse option that adds two
more rinses. This ensures that all the detergent residue
is rinsed out of your laundry.
As an extra precaution, you should use mild detergents
and be careful not to use too much.
the machine only half full for permanent press loads.
These items should have only a brief spin cycle and
they should be removed promptly from the washer and
put directly into the dryer or hung to dry.
Delicate Fabrics
More delicate fabrics, such as machine washable wool
and silk, should only be washed in one-third size loads
for the best results.
