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!
• Be careful not to trap any items of clothing.
Preparing Laundry
• Treat stains before washing.
• Some items should to 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.
• 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 to prevent static.
• 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.
Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner
with water. Prevent blockage of the overflow. Do
NOT exceed the MAX. level mark.
• Do not use the washing machine when the detergent drawer is removed. It may cause a water leak or it
may not work normally.
• If you forget to add detergent and the wash programme has begun, press the Start/Pause button,
then the ON/OFF button. This will cancel the previous wash programme.
• Turn on the machine again then select the SPIN cycle and press the Start/Pause button. After
approximately 3 minutes, the water in the machine will have drained away. Press the Start/Pause
button, then the ON/OFF button to cancel the SPIN cycle.
• Add detergent as normal, turn on the machine, select your desired wash programme and press the
Start/Pause button.
• To prevent powder detergent staying in the drawer, dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. Make sure
the powder isn’t lumpy when you add it into the drawer.
• If the rinse cycle isn’t removing all the detergent from your wash, use less detergent.
• Softener should not exceed the MAX level in the compartment.
• Wash out unused softener with a splash of water or a damp cloth after the programme has finished.
