Operating Your Washing Machine
Before you start
• It is important to sort your washing into appropriate loads, particularly separating white/light colours from
dark colours, as well as separating out sheets and towels.
• Wash new, highly coloured and dark coloured items separately to prevent dye transfer onto other items.
• Sort “lint givers” and “lint collectors” (see table below) and where possible wash these items separately. It
is a good idea to turn “lint givers” inside out.
Lint Givers Lint Collectors
Towels Synthetics, eg polar eece
Chenille Corduroy
Nappies Poly cotton
Socks
• Close bra clasps, do up zippers and check pockets.
• Place your clothes directly into the washing drum.
Select your program
• Once the clothes have been loaded into the drum, select the desired program. See below program guide
to assist with your program selection.
