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 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 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 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 machine. Close the machine door.
Ensure that you do not trap any items of clothing between
the loading door and the rubber seal.
• Do not wash clothes stained with kerosene, alcohol, gasoline
and other flammable materials.
adding detergent and softener
• Add detergent into the appropriate dispenser. If prewash
function is selected, put detergent into compartment I. If
no prewash function is selected, only put detergent into
compartment II. But if your laundry is very dirty, you can
select prewash function on top of the wash programme
and put detergent into both compartments.
• Apply softener before you start washing.
