Correct load capacity
The maximum load capacity depends on the
type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the
washing program desired.
Warning:
If loading of the laundry
has been incorrectly done, noise
and vibration problems may occur
in the machine.
Some water may have remained
in the machine due to the quality
control processes in the
production of the machine. It is not
harmful for the machine.
Warning:
Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for top
loader washing machines.
When using detergent, softener,
starch, fabric dye, bleach or
limescale remover, read the
manufacturer's instructions on the
package carefully and follow the
dosage values. Use a measuring
cup if available.
•
Place curtains in the wash tub without
compressing them. Remove curtain
attachment items.
•
Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits
inside out.
•
Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
•
Treat spots and stains before washing.
•
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 package instructions.
•
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 has been soiled with flour,
lime dust, milk powder, etc. must be
shaken off before placing into the
machine. Dusts and powders on the
laundry may build up on the inner parts of
the machine in time and can cause
damage.
Sorting
•
Mix large and small items in each load.
•
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly
soiled ones.
•
Separate dark colours from light colours.
•
Separate colourfast items from non
colourfast ones.
•
Separate robust fabrics from delicate.
•
Separate whites from coloured fabrics.
Loading
•
Lift the washer lid.
•
Arrange the articles to be washed loosely
round the perimeter of the tub.
•
Load evenly as an off balance load may
cause unnecessary vibrations.
•
Use a large load programme when
washing permanent press garments.
These items need more space to move
than heavy items such as jeans and
towels.
•
Do not overload the machine as this will
result in poor cleaning, increased creasing
and excessive lint formation.
Detergent
•
Add a measured amount of detergent to
the detergent drawer.
•
Use only detergent specifically
recommended for top loading washers
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Choosing the detergent type
•
The type of detergent to be used depends
on the type and colour of the fabric.
•
Use different detergents for coloured and
white laundry.
•
Wash delicate clothes with special
detergents only.
•
When washing dark coloured clothes and
quilts, use a liquid detergent.
•
Wash woollens with special detergent
made specifically for woollens.
Adjusting detergent amount
•
The amount of detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the
degree of soiling and water hardness.
