Washcare tips...

Weight of
Wash Load

Two examples
of  maximum
wash loads for
different types
of fabric.

COTTON
2 Bath Towels
1 Hand Towel
6 Shirts
6 Blouses
1 pair of
Pyjamas
4 items of
Underwear

= 6kg

SYNTHETIC
2 Children’s
Dresses
4 Shirts
4 Blouses
1 pair of
Pyjamas
4 items of
Underwear

= 3kg

Your machine can wash a maximum load of 6kg (cotton).

Do not overload the machine (maximum load 6kg).
In addition to reducing the quality of the wash, this may 
also damage your laundry and the machine.

We strongly recommend that you do not wash underwired 
bras 
in this machine. Should the wires become detached it 
could cause damage to your clothes and the machine. If the
washcare label states that the bra is machine washable, then
we advise placing it in a sealed pillow case or a similar 
washbag.

Do not use the machine if the item to be washed does not 
have a wash label.

Before washing laundry we recommend that you do the

following:

Pre-treat awkward stains with washable treatments.
Do not wash any items that have previously been treated 
with solvents.

Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings and close press studs to 
prevent tangling.

Empty all objects from pockets as they may damage 
clothes and the machine.

Limit the size of absorbent loads, for example towels to 3kg 
(7lb) to give good washing and rinsing results.

Place small items in a wash bag.

Always follow the care label on items when choosing a wash
programme.

Wash non-colourfast items or really dirty clothes 
separately as they may affect other items.
