Washing Machine / User’s Manual
3 Preparation
3.1 Things to be done for energy
saving
Following information will help you use the
product in an ecological and energy-efficient
manner.
• Operate the product in the highest
capacity allowed by the programme you
have selected, but do not overload; see,
"Programme and consumption table".
• Always follow the instructions on the
detergent packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low
temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small
quantities of lightly soiled laundry.
• Do not use high temperatures for
laundry that is not heavily soiled or
stained.
• Do not use detergent in excess of the
amount recommended on the detergent
package.
3.2 Sorting the laundry
• Sort laundry according to type of
fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and
allowable water temperature.
• Always obey the instructions given on
the garment tags.
3.3 Preparing laundry for washing
• Laundry items with metal attachments
such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or
metal buttons will damage the machine.
Remove the metal pieces or wash the
clothes by putting them in a laundry bag
or pillow case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets
such as coins, pens and paper clips, and
turn pockets inside out and brush. Such
objects may damage the product or
cause noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's
socks and nylon stockings in a laundry
bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing
them. Remove curtain attachment
items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and
mend rips and tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand
washable” labeled products only with an
appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites
together. New, dark coloured cottons
release a lot of dye. Wash them
separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly
before washing. If unsure, check with a
dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and
limescale removers suitable for machine
wash. Always follow the instructions on
the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry
turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora
wool in the freezer for a few hours
before washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials
such as flour, lime dust, milk powder,
etc. intensely must be shaken off before
placing into the machine. Such dusts
and powders on the laundry may build
up on the inner parts of the machine in
time and can cause damage.
