Softener
o
An automatic softener input device is not available with this
machine, so if you would like to use it, you should pause the
wash program before the last bleaching operation and introduce
softener manually.
o
You should always follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using softener to avoid damage to clothing.
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance will
depend on:
o
The degree of soiling . Lightly soiled garments in general
require less detergent.
o
The size of the wash load . A smaller wash load will require a
reduction in the amount of detergent.
o
The hardness of your tap water . The harder your water is,
then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent
manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra
detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the
water.
Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
o
Your washing should be sorted out, according to
the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label (see
separate section on wash care symbols).
o
Your washing should also be sorted out
according to the degree of soiling.
o
Check all pockets on a garment to make sure
that they are empty.
o
Remove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
o
Zips should be closed, duvet covers and
pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should
be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting
damaged during the wash.
