Your washing machine
Before you start washing
Before first use
Do not put anything into the washing machine.
The default setting is 40 ºC Cotton. For the unit's initial operation please operate
the machine WITHOUT any detergent or clothing. This allows the unit to rinse out
any residure or moisture.
Organising your 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.
Preparing the laundry
Treating stains before washing
● Collar and sleeve
Apply stain remover to the
stained parts of collars and
sleeves.
● Spots
Apply appropriate stain
remover to spots.
● Dirt and solid stains
Apply stain remover or
special soap to stains such
as curry, tomato sauce and
plant dye, then wash lightly
by hand first.
Items to be put into a cleaning net before going into the washing
machine
● Bras with metal wires, tights and lace
clothing should all be washed in a
cleaning net to prevent damage.
Do not wash water-repellent clothing
Checking clothing
● Check that pockets on
clothing do not contain any
objects which may damage
your clothes or the washing
machine.
● Tie up any loose strings on
laundry, close zippers and
reverse clothing with the zip
inside out.
● Clothes that are not colour
fast should be washed
separately.
They may
cause damage
to clothing.
Sort other
clothes by colour,
with denim kept
separate.
● Remove any surplus hair,
animal fur, sand, and other
materials with a brush
before washing.
● If clothes have raised
fabrics turn them inside out.
● Apply softener before you
start washing to prevent
static.
Before you start washing
Water is poured into the Washing machine to perform an inspection at the time of
shipment from the factory, so there may be drops of water or condensation in the
Washing machine. This is not an indication of a malfunction.
