Washing Tips and Hints

Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:

-Type of fabric care label symbol: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools and rayon.

-Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.

-Size: Placing articles of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing performance.

-Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care chart below.

	Hand Wash	×	No Machine Wash
	Washing (including Machine Wash and Hand Wash)	×	Do not Wash

-Empty pockets (key, coins, etc) and remove the harder decorative objects (e.g. broches).

-Securing fasteners

Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

-Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a washing bag.

-Washing a single big and heavy item such as bath towel, jeans, wadded jacket etc. may unbalance the laundry in the drum. Therefore it is suggested to add one or two more clothes to be washed together so that draining can be done smoothly.

-Baby articles (baby clothes, towels and napkins) shall be washed separately.

If they are washed together with the adults' clothes, they may be infected. Rinsing times shall be increased to ensure the thorough rinsing and cleaning with no detergent residues left.

-It is suggested that the items that are easily stained such as white socks, collars and sleeves etc. shall be hand washed before being put into washing machine to achieve more ideal washing effects.

• The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be washed separately; otherwise the other articles can be stained with dust and lint particles, etc. Preferably, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be washed separately.

-Do not wash wattenpalski suits, outside napkin pads, raincoats, umbrella, car covers, sleeping sacks, bags, etc).

It is better not to wash fabrics that cannot get soaked easily (such as waterproof cushions and clothes) in the washing machine. Otherwise there will be water bursting out or abnormal vibration to cause danger during rinsing and draining so that the clothes may be damaged.

-Detergent tips

The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, washing temperature, degree and type of soiling. Please use "low suds" laundry detergent.

NOTE: Do not add more detergent than needed. Please follow the usage recommendation on the detergent package.

Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, ask your water authority.

NOTE: Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the mains socket.

Cleaning the exterior

Clean the appliance surface with a soft cloth dampened with soap liquid.

Do not use organic chemicals or corrosive solvents.

Cleaning the drum

The rusts left inside the drum by the metal articles shall be removed immediately with chlorine-free detergents.

   3.Remove the inlet hose and soak it in warm water.
3. Pour warm water into the drum and wait for 10 minutes.
   5.Reconnect the inlet hose to the tap and check if the water supply and drain operations are normal.

NOTE: When the appliance is operated after repair, please make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0^ .

Cleaning the detergent drawer and recess

1. Press the release lever inside of the detergent drawer and pull it out.

2.Remove the cap from compartment.

3.Clean all parts and drawer recess under running water.
4.Reinsert the cap by pushing it firmly into place.
