Sorting laundry.
•
To get the best results, sort clothes into
loads that can be washed with the same
wash cycle.
•
Different fabrics need to be washed at
varying temperatures and spin speeds.
•
Wash two or more towels or knits together.
If washed separately, laundry which
absorbs a lot of water may not be washed
well or abnormal spin-drying may occur due
to leaning.
•
Always sort dark colours from pale colours
and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discolouration of
white and pale garments. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
−
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of
soil.
−
Colour (White, Lights, Darks):
Separate white fabrics from coloured
fabrics.
−
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors):
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.

Caring before loading.
•
Do not wash 'memory wire' on female
inner wear (such as a brassiere) as it may
damage other clothes or the washing
machine and create noise.
•
Check all pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips,
matches, pens, coins and keys can damage
both your washing machine and your
clothes.
•
Close zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don’t snag on other
clothes.
•
Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto
stains to help lift dirt.
•
If an item of clothing has a long lace
attached to it, arrange the lace so it cannot
be tangled or put it into a washing net.
•
Remove the insides of cushions, pillows,
or sitting mats and only wash the cover.
The insides may protrude, damaging
other laundry. Plastic parts may generate
abnormal vibrations.
CAUTION
•
Divide laundry in large volume for washing
so that the laundry can be submerged under
water completely. If laundry expands during
washing, it may cause damage to the laundry
and parts during washing or spin.
