4.5.2 Preparing laundry for washing
• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwiring , belt buckles or metal
buttons will damage the product or break the glass door. Remove the metal pieces or
wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn
pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise
problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or
pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
• Wash “Machine washable” or “Hand washable” labelled products only with an
appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of
dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing.
• Only use the dyes / colour changers and descaling agents which are appropriate to
machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in a plastic bag in the freezer for a few hours
before washing. This can reduce piling.
• Laundry that is subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. must be
shaken off before placing into the product. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may
build up on the inner parts of the product in time and can cause damage.
