Preparing clothes for washing Laundry items with metal attachments such as, bras, belt buckles and metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove metal attachments or place the items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or something similar.
•Empty pockets and remove all foreign objects such as coins, pens and paper clips. If possible, turn pockets out and brush.
•Place small items like infants’ socks and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar. This will also save your laundry from getting lost.
•Place curtains in the machine with care. Remove curtain rails and pullers.
•Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
•Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate program.
•Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons may release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
•Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If you are not sure, check with a dry cleaner.
•Use only dyes/colour changers and lime removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.
•Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned inside out.
•Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
Correct load capacity
•The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing program you wish to use.
CThe machine adjusts the amount of water according to the amount of laundry placed inside.
CPlease follow the information in the "Program Selection Table". Washing results will degrade when the machine is overloaded.
