Sorting and loading
When sorting your wash load and loading your washer there are some important things to consider.

best washed in cold water, eg mud, blood.

Loading
Check pockets
Loose items can damage both your washer and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes
This is to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.
Mend any torn garments or loose buttons
Tears or holes may become larger during washing. Remove any loose bra wires as they can damage your
washing machine and/or dryer.
Pretreat any stains
Make sure you use an appropriate surface to apply treatments. Do not use the lid or top of the machine, as
damage may occur to these surfaces.
Make sure the water level suits the load size
If manually selecting the water level, select the correct water level by using the mark on the agitator nearest to the
top of the load. Ensure the load does not extend above the bottom of the fabric softener dispenser cup, as
splashing may occur.
For a balanced load
• Place unfolded clothes firmly and evenly around the agitator, no higher than the bottom of the fabric softener
dispenser cup.
• Do not wrap large items, such as sheets, around the agitator.
• A mixture of small and large items will wash best.

In the unlikely case of an out of balance load, refer to the Levelling instructions on page 5
to check the machine is correctly levelled.
Please do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wash an electric blanket in your
washer. Also, we do not recommend that you wash curtains in your washer. Sunlight
makes them brittle and they may disintegrate during washing.
