Remove the laundry from the
appliance. Make sure that the washing
tub is empty.
Keep the lid ajar, to prevent the
mildew and odours.
Press Power touchpad to turn off the
machine.
- Turn off the water tap.
NOTE
Each load of washing should contain
clothing which needs the same washing
conditions. For example, you should
not wash delicate clothes with very dirty
work clothes.
Colour fast and non-colourfast fabrics
should be separated. Knowing the type
of fabrics you have and how dirty they
are will help when you make selections
from the wash program options.
Some fabrics are lint collectors and can
pick up lint, dirt and colour from other
fabrics which are lint producers. Some
examples are listed below:
Lint collectors Lint producers
- Corduroy
- Synthetics
- Permanent
press fabrics - Towels
- Nappies
- Chenille/Candlewick
Make sure that you wash lint collectors
separately from lint producers.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT!
However, due to the variables of fabric
types, soil levels, detergent types and
available program settings you may find
some combinations of these which do
not always result in the perfect wash.
If for example you see residuals of
detergent or soils on some items, please
read the section Residues on washed
items paragraph.
Over time you will learn what is the best
set-up of programs, detergent and load
sorting for different load types and soils.
These Washing Instructions are of a
general nature and you should get good
wash results by following them.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a
special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
Never wash whites and coloureds
together. Whites may lose their
“whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first
wash; they should therefore be washed
separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers.
Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Make sure that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety
pins, pins).
Wash bras, pantyhose
and other delicates in
a mesh laundry bag,
which you can
purchase from your
supermarket.
Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag
or net.
