Before you start
STEP 1
Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
•
Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
•
Colour: Separate whites from colours.
•
Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the tub improves the washing performance.
•
Sensitivity: Follow the cloth-specific instructions on the care label of delicate items such
as pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting
the wash.
STEP 2
Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items, and remove dirt and/or soils from them.
•
Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the tub.
•
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out.
•
If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub may be damaged.
•
Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
•
Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the
strings before washing.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net or wash certain items separately
•
Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres
may break through and tear other laundry items.
•
Cashmilon, large volume garments, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes,
lingerie, nylon stocking, and synthetic fabrics) may float on water during washing and
cause problems to the machine. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
•
Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
