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.
Treating stains
Apply stain remover to stained portions.
For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by
hand first.
Check clothing
Check that pockets on clothing do not
-
contain any objects that may damage
the clothes or the appliance.
To avoid clothes being damaged, check
-
and tie up loose strings, close zips, turn
clothing with raised fabrics and zips
inside out.
Remove any hair, animal fur, sand,
-
and other materials with a brush before
washing.
