Any loose wiring in bras and shirt collar stiffeners should be removed or sewn in.

Sorting your Laundry:

Sort your laundry by colour. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.

Dark textiles may contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.

Follow the instructions given in the care labels on the clothing.

Do not wash any items in the machine that the manufacturer has specified as non-washable on the care label.

Do not dry any items in the Washer Dryer that the manufacturer has specified as non-dry on the care label.

Badly soiled or stained areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent or stain removers by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you use a solvent-based cleaning agent to pre-treat a stain, protect any plastic parts such as buttons. Rinse the cleaning agent off before loading the washing into the machine.

Do not use a solvent-based cleaning agent in your Washer Dryer.

Loading the Drum:

1Pull the door open using the handle.

2Select a programme before loading laundry into your Washer Dryer. If you do not select a programme the load sensor will not be activated.
