PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING CLOTHES
Please follow these steps carefully to avoid trouble with your washing machine and damaging your clothing.
Washing Considerations
• New clothes in particular, can leach colour onto other
clothing items, particularly whites.
Consider washing these and bright colours separately.
• Stained clothing should be treated with a stain remover,
prior to washing.
• Temperature sensitive clothes should be washed in
accordance with their care direction label. Otherwise
distortion and/or changes in colour could occur.
• Never allow washing to sit in the machine for a long
period of time- particularly when wet. Clothes can
become mouldy and develop an odour.
• Certain clothing cannot be washed in a washing
machine and their care directions may state dry
cleaning or hand washing required.
• Wrinkle style clothes, embossed clothes, resin clothes,
etc may become distorted when immersed in water.
• Avoid washing clothes without care direction labels
within the appliance, to be safe.
• Always remove all items from clothing pockets, as hard
items can cause damage to the appliance.
• Try to wash clothing colours and sizes in like loads,
as this will improve the effectiveness of the washing
and results.
• Close all clothing zips and ensure all buttons are
fastened securely.
• Delicate items such as bras, handkerchiefs and ties
should be washed within a special washing bag, to
prevent damage to themselves and other clothes.
• When washing a large single item that could become
heavy (i.e. a towel or jacket), it can cause the appliance
to become unbalance during its spin cycle. Therefore it’s
recommended to add one or two more clothing items to
help the machine balance.
• Try to remove any pet hair, dust and stains from clothing
prior to washing.
• Baby clothing should be washed separately.
• Clothing that gets easily “fuzzed” or loses fibres easily,
should be washed separately.
• Black clothing items should be washed separately.
• Do not wash waterproof materials within the
washing machine.
Pay Attention to Detergents
Only use suitable front load washing machine detergents
with this appliance. Powders and liquid detergents only.
Only ever use the recommended quantity of detergent, as
per the manufacturer’s guidelines, as an excessive quantity
can cause excessive bubbles and overflow to occur.
It can also result in detergent residue remaining on the
clothing after completion of the wash cycle.
WARNING:
Always keep detergents and additives out
of reach from children.
