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.
