1. Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes.

This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

•Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

•Color (White, Lights, Darks)

Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

•Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)

Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Caring before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items.

This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

•Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

•Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.

•Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

•Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.

•Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous wash.

•Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.

Before the first wash, select a cycle (Cotton 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.
