Preparation
4.2 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 especially the glass
door 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” labelled 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.
