• 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.

Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend
rips and tears.

removers suitable for machine wash. Always
follow the instructions on the package.

inside out.

freezer for a few hours before washing. This will
reduce pilling.

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.

of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing
programme desired.
The machine automatically adjusts the amount
