Preparation
Read the following to understand how best to prepare your laundry for washing.
Organising Laundry
• Read the washing label on each garment to help you sort your washing into different loads.
• Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric and by how soiled it is.
This will help you choose the correct programme and temperature for each wash.
• Do not exceed maximum load!
• Be careful not to trap any items of clothing.
Preparing Laundry
• Treat stains before washing.
• Some items should to be put into a cleaning net before going into
the washing machine. i.e. bras with metal wires, tights and lace
clothing to prevent damage. Check that pockets do not contain
any objects which may damage your clothes and the washing
machine.
• Tie up any loose strings on laundry, close zippers and reverse
clothing with zips inside out.
• Remove any surplus hair, animal fur, sand, and other materials with
a brush before washing.
• If clothes have raised fabric turn them inside out.
• Clothes that are not colour fast should be washed separately.
• Insert your clothes into the washing machine. Close the washing
machine door. Ensure not to trap any items of clothing between
the loading door and rubber seal.
Adding Detergent and Softener
• Add detergent into the appropriate dispenser.
• Apply softener before you start washing to prevent static.
• Apply detergent and softener according to the washing
amount, the soiling level, the water hardness in your area
and the manufacturer’s instructions of these products.
Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner
with water. Prevent blockage of the overflow.
Maximum level is 40ml.
• Do not use washing machine when the detergent drawer
is removed. It may cause a water leak or it may not work normally.
• If you forget to add detergent, you can drain the washing machine by running a drain only
programme. Then you can add detergent and start the programme again.
Detergent only reaches the drum when water flushes through the detergent drawer.
• To prevent powered detergent staying in the drawer, dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. Make
sure the powder isn’t lumpy when you add it into the drawer.
• If the rinse cycle isn’t removing all the detergent from your wash, use less detergent.
• Softener should not exceed the MAX level in the compartment.
• Wash out unused softener with a splash of water or a damp cloth after the programme has finished.
