put a water softening agent in this section, if you use one). The
detergent will be added to the drum at the start of the main wash
program.
11

Conditioner section
This compartment should be used for liquid conditioners (fabric
softener, starch). They will be added to the wash load during the final
rinse.
Pre wash section
This compartment should have detergent placed in it, if you are going
to select a pre-wash before the main wash cycle.
Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
oYour washing should be sorted out, according to
the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label (see
separate section on wash care symbols).
oYour washing should also be sorted out
according to the degree of soiling.
oCheck all pockets on a garment to make sure
that they are empty.
12
oRemove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
oZips should be closed, duvet covers and
pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should
be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting
damaged during the wash.
oWoollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out
before being washed in the appliance.
oSmall delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in
either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.
oCurtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the
appliance.
oColoured items and whites should be washed
in separate wash cycles.

oNew garments often contain an excess of dye, therefore it is
advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.
oGarments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed
inside the machine.
A selection of wash care symbols
oThe wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the
most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your
laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the
highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.
13

Detergents and conditioners
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will
depend on
oThe degree of soiling.Lightly soiled garments in general
require less detergent.
oThe size of the wash load.A smaller wash load will require a
reduction in the amount of detergent.
oThe hardness of your tap water.The harder your water is,
then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent
manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra
detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the
water.
Liquid detergent
If you are using liquid detergent, then in the majority of cases the
liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the
detergent manufacturer and placed inside the drum. All instructions on
the detergent packaging should be followed.
Water softening agents
If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water
softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not
become clogged with hard water deposits. You may also find that it will
allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.
When using any detergent or water softening
agent, the recommendations of the
manufacturers should be followed.
