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 items 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” 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.
