Washcare tips...

●Your machine can wash a maximum load of 6kg (cotton) and dry a maximum load of 5kg.

●Do not overload the machine (maximum load 6kg).

In addition to reducing the quality of the wash, this may also damage your laundry and the machine.

●We strongly recommend that you do not wash underwired bras in this machine. Should the wires become detached it could cause damage to your clothes and the machine. If the washcare label states that the bra is machine washable, then we advise placing it in a sealed pillow case or a similar washbag.

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

Before washing laundry we recommend that you do the

following:

●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 clothes and the machine.

●Limit the size of absorbent loads, for example towels to 3kg (7lb) to give good washing and rinsing results.

●Place small items in a wash bag.

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

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