Pre-Wash

When selecting prewash, add detergent to both the pre-wash and the main wash compartments.

Do not use the machine if the item to be washed does not have a wash label.

Before washing laundry we recommend you:

Pre-treat awkward stains with washable treatments. Do not wash any items that have previously been treated with solvents.

Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings and close press studs to prevent tangling.

Empty all objects from pockets as they may damage the laundry and the machine.

!Remember you will be charged for a service engineers visit to rectify malfunction resulting from objects such as coins, pens, hair grips etc. falling from pockets.

Limit the size of absorbent loads ie. towels, to half loads to give good washing and rinsing results.

Place small items in a wash bag.

Always follow the care label on items when choosing the wash programme.

Wash non-colourfast items or really dirty items separately as they may affect other laundry.
