On the machine

  1. Turn the program selection buttons, COLD, WARM, HOT or DELICATE (HEAVY SOIL and EXTRA RINSE work with the first three, never with DELICATE) to Cold.
  2. Set the temperature to 20°C (program buttons themselves, where the button you press IS the temperature, and DELICATE always washes cold).
  3. Set the spin to 400 rpm (program itself, spin is fixed (Cold, Warm and Hot end with the full 6 minute extraction, Delicate with a shorter 2 minute one)).
  4. Add a suitable detergent and press green START button.

Why these settings

Cotton shrinks and runs colour when washed too hot. Wash at 30 to 40C and only go hotter for white, heavily soiled loads.
