NOTE
¾Laundry 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
damage.
¾Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing.
This will reduce pilling.
¾Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
