Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 -
Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
•
Care Label
: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools and rayon.
•
Colour
: Separate whites from colours.
•
Size
: Mixing different-sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
•
Sensitivity
: Wash delicate items separately using an EasyIron option for pure, new woollen items,
curtains and silk items. Check the labels on the items.
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.
STEP 2 - Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items.
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as
the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroiders inside out.
• If zips of pants and jackets are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zips should be closed
and fixed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Be sure to fix the strings before
starting the wash.
STEP 3 - Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break
through and rip other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings and handkerchiefs may become caught around
the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that
could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 - Prewash (if necessary)
Add a Prewash option to the selected course with a protein-based detergent for cotton items that are
contaminated severely.
