WASH PREPARATION
Sorting your load
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially
when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at highertemperatures.
Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oilysoils (eg some foods
and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water.
Before you load
z
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
z
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
doona covers) and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer
andyour clothes.
z
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the washer.
z
Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
Ensure the water level suits the load size
If manually selecting the water level, select the correct water level by using the mark on the
agitator nearest to the top of the load. Ensure the load does not extend above the bottom
of the fabric softener dispenser cup, as splashing may occur.
For a balanced load
z
Place unfolded clothes firmly and evenly around the agitator, no higher than the bottom
of the fabric softener dispenser cup.
z
Do not wrap large items, such as sheets, around the agitator.
z
A mixture of small and large items will wash best.
In the unlikely case of an out of balance load, refer to the ‘Levelling instructions’ to check
the machine is correctly levelled.
