Preparing the laundry
Sorting clothing
Read clothing washing labels to help -
you sort them into different loads.
Sort the laundry by colour, by type of -
fabric, and by how soiled it is. Doing
so will help you choose the correct
programme and temperature for each
wash.
Clothes that are not colour fast should -
be washed separately. Wash denim
separately.
You should put bras with metal wires, -
tights, lace clothing and small items of
clothing into a laundry net to prevent
them or the appliance from getting
damaged.
Caution
Do NOT wash water-repellent
clothing.
There is a possibility of excessive
vibration or failure during the spin-
drying cycle that may result in an
injury, damage to the appliance or a
water leak.
Treating stains
Apply stain remover to stained portions.
For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by
hand first.
Checking clothing
Check that pockets on clothing do not -
contain any objects that may damage
the clothes or the appliance.
Tie up any loose strings on the clothing -
and close zippers. Turn clothing with
raised fabrics and zippers inside out.
Otherwise, the clothes may be
damaged.
Remove any hair, animal fur, sand, -
and other materials with a brush before
washing.
