Washing Machine / User Manual
4.2 Preparation
4.2.1 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.
4.2.2 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.
