Before initial use
For the appliance’s initial operation,
operate the Cotton programme with the
default temperature setting, which is 40ºC,
WITHOUT any detergent or clothing to
rinse out residue or moisture.
Note
There may be drops of water or
condensation in the appliance due
to the factory inspection prior to
shipment. This is not a malfunction.
Preparing the laundry
Sorting clothing
Read clothing washing labels to help
-
you sort them into different loads.
Sort the laundry by colour, by type of
-
fabric, and by how soiled it is. Doing
so will help you choose the correct
programme and temperature for each
wash.
Clothes that are not colour fast should
-
be washed separately. Wash denim
separately.
You should put bras with metal wires,
-
tights, lace clothing and small items of
clothing into a laundry net to prevent
them or the appliance from getting
damaged.
Caution
Do NOT wash water-repellent
clothing.
There is a possibility of excessive
vibration or failure during the spin-
drying cycle that may result in an
injury, damage to the appliance or a
water leak.
Treating stains
Apply stain remover to stained portions.
For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by
hand first.
Checking clothing
Check that pockets on clothing do not
-
contain any objects that may damage
the clothes or the appliance.
Tie up any loose strings on the clothing
-
and close zippers. Turn clothing with
raised fabrics and zippers inside out.
Otherwise, the clothes may be
damaged.
Remove any hair, animal fur, sand,
-
and other materials with a brush before
washing.
