PREPARATION
Sorting the laundry
Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.
Always follow the instructions given on the garment tags.
Preparing laundry for washing
Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage
the appliance. 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 appliance 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 appliances 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.
Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for 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 the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce
pilling.
Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken
off before placing into the appliance. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner
parts of the appliance in time and can cause damage.
