USAGE
Close zips and fasten any hooks and eyes.
Items such as trousers, t-shirts, sweat shirts and knitted garments should be turned inside
out.
Remove any weights from curtains, or place in a laundry bag.
Any loose wiring in bras and shirt collar stiffeners should be removed or sewn in.
Sorting Your Laundry:
Sort your laundry by colour. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
Dark textiles may contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed load.
Follow the instructions given in the care labels on the clothing.
Do not wash any items in the machine that the manufacturer has specified as non-
washable on the care label.
Badly soiled or stained areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent or stain removers by
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you use a solvent-based cleaning agent to pre-treat a stain, protect any plastic parts such
as buttons. Rinse the cleaning agent off before loading the washing into the machine.
Do not use a solvent-based cleaning agent in your Washing Machine.
Loading the Drum:
1
Pull the door open using the handle.
2
Load your items of clothing into the drum, ensuring they are loosely packed. You will
achieve better wash results if you mix up large and small items. Items of varying size will
help distribute the load more evenly during spinning.
3
Take care not to exceed the maximum load of the drum as this will give poor wash
results and cause creasing. Refer to the table on pages 25 and 26 for information on load
capacities.
4
Gently push the door until it clicks shut. Check that no items of clothing are trapped
between the rubber seal and the door.
Half-Load Detection System:
Your Washing Machine features a half-load detection system. If you put less than half the
maximum load of laundry into your Washing Machine it will automatically set the half-load
function, regardless of the programme you selected. This means that the selected programme
will take less time to complete and will use less water and energy.
Adding Detergent:
Please take care to add the correct amount of detergent to your Washing Machine.
If too little detergent is added:
Your laundry may not be washed properly and may become grey and stiff over time.
Spots of fat may appear on your laundry.
Limescale may form on the heater elements.
If too much detergent is added:
Excessive foam will be formed resulting in poor wash results.
Water consumption will increase.
You can use any detergent produced for automatic washing machines. The use of dispensing
aids such as balls is recommended, if they are supplied with the detergent.
Tablets are suitable for full loads; however, it may be impractical to reduce them for smaller
loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as quickly as others and may not be suitable for wash cycles
of short duration.
