LAUNDRY GUIDELINES
Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most effi cient wash. (It is important that the
checkpoints below are followed in order to avoid machine problems or clothing damage.)
If any problems arise due to the fault of the customer, a separate service fee will be charged to the
customer.
Always check the Care label on clothing before washing.
•
You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes; but do NOT OVERLOAD the tub. Overloading
may reduce washing effi ciency, cause excess wear on your laundry and the washer, and
possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
•
When washing big, bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fill the tub completely - a
rug, a pillow, stuff ed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example - add a few towels to improve
the tumbling and spinning performance.
•
Check if any clothing items may bleach. Add liquid detergent to a white towel and the
garment if you are unsure whether it may bleach. Rub the two items together strongly. Check
if the color is transferred to the towel.
•
Be especially careful with scarves and imported clothes since they discolor easily. Check for
stains or partial dirt. If stains are found, add some detergent to a cloth and rub the stain in
a single direction. Soil and dirt may rub against delicate garments causing damage and the
wash result may be unsatisfactory.
•
If clothes are too soiled, remove them and wash them separately, as dirt may transfer to the
other clothing.
•
Before washing the following items, sleeves, collars, dress
hems and pockets should be pre-treated by brushing them with
detergent. Wrinkle-processed clothing made of wool should be
specially treated by tying them together (using thread) before
washing. The thread is removed after the clothes have dried.
•
Metal on clothing may damage your clothing as well as the tub. Turn
clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before
washing them. If pants and jacket zips are open during the wash,
the spin basket may be damaged. Zips should be closed before
washing.
•
Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes
and damage them. Be sure to fi x the strings before starting the
wash.
•
Turn delicate clothing inside out before washing it.
