Washing Machine / User’s Manual

4.2 Preparation

4.2.1 Sorting the laundry

•  Sort laundry according to type of fabric, 

colour, and degree of soiling and allowable 

water temperature.

•  Always obey the instructions given on the 

garment tags.

4.2.2 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 laundry bag or pillow case.

•   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.

•  Put small size clothes such as infant's socks 

and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or 

pillow case.

•  Place curtains in without compressing them. 

Remove curtain attachment items.

•  Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and 

mend rips and tears.

•  Wash “machine washable” or “hand 

washable” labeled 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.

•  Tough stains must be treated properly 

before washing. If unsure, check with a dry 

cleaner.

•  Use only dyes/colour changers and 

limescale removers suitable for machine 

wash. Always follow the instructions on the 

package.

•  Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned 

inside out.

•  Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in 

the freezer for a few hours before washing. 

This will reduce pilling.

•  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 

damage.

4.2.3 Tips for energy and water saving

Following information will help you use the

temperatures.

•  Use faster programmes for small quantities 

of lightly soiled laundry.

select the highest spin speed recommended 

during washing process.

of water according to the weight of the loaded 

laundry.
