Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones.

Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel.

Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). as these could damage the drain pump.

When washing curtains, remove the hooks.

Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time.

When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature.

White items should not be washed with coloured items.

Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.

Use the correct quantities of detergent.

For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities.

Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach of children.

Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre- soak product or biological detergent.

If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

Once you have finished using the machine, you are advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.
