Washing Machine / User’s Manual
3 Preparation
3.1 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.
3.2 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.
