Look for a care label on your clothes.

This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

Different fabrics need to be washed at varying temperatures and spin speeds.

Always sort dark colours from pale colours and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white and pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones. – Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil. – Colour (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics. – Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately

Caring before loading.

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items rst.

Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two similar items.

Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washing machine and your clothes.

Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.

Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains to help lift dirt.

Check the folds of the exible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.

Check inside the drum and remove any items from a previous wash.

Remove any clothing or items from the exible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.18 Adding Cleaning Products Detergent Dosage

Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and washing temperature.

If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will result in poor washing results or cause heavy load to the motor.

If you wish to use liquid detergent follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.

You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.

Do not use liquid detergent if you are using Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash, as the liquid may harden.

If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent amount.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

Refer to the label of the clothes, before chooseing the detergent and water temperature:

When using the washing machine, use designated detergent for each type of clothing only: – General powdered detergents for all types of fabric – Powdered detergents for delicate fabric – Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or designated detergents only for wool

For better washing performance and whitening, use detergent with the general powdered bleach.

Detergent is ushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle. NOTE

Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or odour.
