preparation
Read the following to understand how best to prepare your laundry for washing.
organising laundry
• Read the washing label on each garment to help you sort your washing into different loads.
• Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric and by how soiled it is. This will help you choose the
correct programme and temperature for each wash.
• Do not exceed the maximum load!
preparing laundry
• Treat stains before washing.
• Some items should be put into a cleaning net before going
into the washing machine, i.e. bras with metal wires, tights
and lace clothing to prevent damage.
• Check that pockets do not contain any objects which may
damage your clothes and the washing machine.
• Tie up any loose strings on laundry, close zippers and
reverse clothing with zips inside out.
• To prevent any large, heavy objects (e.g., buckles, large
buttons, etc.) from hitting the glass door, turn your clothing
inside out, or remove the heavy objects. These could
damage your laundry or the washing machine.
• Remove any surplus hair, animal fur, sand, and other
materials with a brush before washing.
• If clothes have raised fabric turn them inside out.
• Clothes that are not colour fast should be washed separately.
• Insert your clothes into the washing machine. Close the
washing machine door. Ensure that you do not trap any items
of clothing between the loading door and the rubber seal.
adding detergent and softener
• Add detergent into the appropriate dispenser.
• Apply softener before you start washing.
• Apply detergent and softener according to the washing
amount, the soiling level, the water hardness in your area
and the manufacturer’s instructions of these products.
• For slightly dirty clothes, put a small amount of detergent
in compartment (II) of the detergent drawer.
• For excessively dirty clothes, put ¼ of the detergent to be
used in compartment (I) of the detergent drawer and the remaining amount in compartment (II).
