Using your washer

Preparing your laundry....

Divide your laundry by fabric and colour fastness.Wash white and coloured items separately.

Remember to empty pockets, removing especially those small items like coins, paper, pins and badges that might jam the pump. Fasten or remove loose buttons and fasten zippers. Turn shirts inside out for better results.

Check wash labels

Garments and laundry generally have wash instruction labels (which tell you if they shloud be dry-cleaned, hand washed or machine washed) showing the wash temperature, how to iron etc.

Important: fabrics should only be machine washed if their labels show the appropriate symbol (see table 1).

Alternate small and large items when loading your washer

This washing machine has an electronic load balancing control:before carrying out the spin cycle, this device ensures that the laundry is arranged as evenly as possible in the drum, according to the type of fabric and the way it was initially loaded. This will minimize vibration and noise even during the fastest spin cycle. For best results however, we recommend you alternate small and large items when you load your washing machine remember to spread them out; never wash large loads of terry cloth items.
