Preparation

4.2 Preparing laundry for washing

•Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in

a cotton laundry bag or cotton pillow case. Moreover, such clothes may warm up excessively during drying and get damaged. For this reason, do not dry such laundry in the machine.

•Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a cotton laundry bag or cotton pillow case.

•Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items. Do not dry tulle curtains in the machine.

•Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.

•Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate programme.

•Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.

•Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.

NOTE

	¾¾ Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc.
	intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders
	on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause
C	damage.

	This will reduce pilling.
	¾¾ Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
	¾¾ Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
	¾¾ Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn
	pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise
	problem.
