Sorting the laundry
•
Sort laundry according to type of fabric,
colour and degree of soiling and allowable
water temperature
•
Always follow the instructions given on the
garment tags
•
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.
Before first use of the machine, ensure that
all preparations are made in accordance with
the instructions in sections “Important safety
instructions” and “Installation”.
To prepare the machine for washing laundry
for the first time, perform a tub cleaning
(maintenance wash) procedure as outlined in
the main programme guide of this manual.
Preparation
•
Close all zippers, snaps and hooks to
prevent them from snagging other articles.
•
Remove pins and hard items to prevent
them from scratching the machine.
•
Empty all pockets, remove all items in
pockets such as coins, pens and paper
clips, and turn pockets inside out and
brush pockets. Such objects may damage
the machine and cause noise.
•
Put small size clothes in a laundry bag or
pillow case.
•
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.
