PART 4: OPERATING THE WASHING MACHINE
Inspection and preparation before washing
Carefully read these methods of use to prevent problems with using the washing machine or damaging laundry.
Check whether the fi rst batch of laundry has lost colour.
After using a white towel for washing invisible corners on laundry with
a small amount of liquid laundry detergent, check whether the stains
remained on the white towel from the original colour of the laundry.
Wash head scarves or laundry that easily loses colour separately.
To remove stains on sleeves, collars and pockets, use liquid laundry
detergent and gently clean them using a brush. Finally, load the laundry
into the washing machine to ensure the ideal washing result. Wash
temperature sensitive laundry according to the instructions on the label
of the piece of laundry. Otherwise, colour loss or damage may result.
Remember:
Never leave laundry intended for washing inside the washing machine too long. Otherwise, moulds and stains
may appear. Therefore, wash the laundry in time. Laundry may likewise change colour or be damaged when it
is not washed at the recommended temperature.
Laundry unsuitable for washing in a washing machine
Laundry that may be deformed when submerged in water:
–
Neck ties, vests, cowboy clothing, special apparel, etc. may shrink when submerged in water, or may change
colour when the spin function is used on synthetic fi bres, etc.
–
Clothing with frills, embroidery, etc. may become deformed when submerged in water. Amongst cotton
and woollen materials, clothing such as for example silk, leather apparel or accessories, may deform easily;
–
Clothing with decorations, long dresses and traditional clothing, etc. are products that can easily lose colour.
–
Do not wash laundry in the washing machine that doesn't have a material label or which you do not know how to wash.
–
Never wash laundry soiled by chemicals such as petrol, kerosene, benzene, thinners or alcohol.
Pay special attention to the laundry detergent that you use
–
A laundry detergent with low suds formation, laundry detergent or special laundry detergent for washing
machine drums, should be selected based on fi bre type (cotton, synthetics, delicates and woollen laundry),
colours, washing temperatures, degree and manner of soiling. Otherwise a greater amount of suds could
form and fl ow over the washing detergent drawer and thereby cause damage to property.
–
As a rule, bleach is alkaline based an may damage laundry and therefore we recommend using as little of
it as possible.
–
Washing detergent may easily leave remains on the laundry and then produce an unpleasant odour and
so it is necessary to rinse it off thoroughly.
–
The washing detergent has poor desolving properties when there is too much of it or when its temperature
is too high. In this way, it may easily stick on clothing, in the hoses or the washing machine and then soil
subsequent laundry.
–
When washing, it is necessary to consider the weight of the laundry, the degree of dirtiness, water hardness
and recommendations of the laundry and laundry detergent manufacturers. If you are unsure, contact your
water company to fi nd out your water hardness.
NOTE:
Keep the laundry detergent and adjuncts in places out of children's reach.
