Washing tips and hints

Sorting your laundry: 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 items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash programme for pure new
wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric
care chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets: Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing machine drum,
and the water tank.
Securing fasteners: Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied
together.
Prewashing cotton: Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect
washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly
dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash
properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing.
Fabric Type Load Capacity
Cotton /Heavy/Soak wash 6.0 kg
Quick 3.0 kg
Delicates 2.5 kg
Blankets 4.0 kg
Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic,
delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling.
Always use “low suds” laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
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.
Notice : Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped with a
polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit
into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended in the detergent manu-facturers’
instructions.
• Use stain removal products and bleaches before the wash cycle only when strictly necessary.
• Save water and electricity by only washing full loads (the exact amount depends upon the
programme used).
