that they are empty.
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

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.
oIf the wash care label does not appear in the above table, then
please refer to the washing machine program chart. This gives
more detailed descriptions of the types of fabric that are suitable
to be washed using a particular wash program.
Detergents and conditioners
oOnly detergents suitable for use in washing machines
should be used
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

13
detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the
water.
Liquid detergent
oIf you are using liquid detergent, then it should be placed inside
the dosing device supplied by the detergent manufacturer.
oIMPORTANT: Liquid detergent should not be placed in
sections 1 or 2 of the detergent drawer

Low temperatures
oThe enzymes in biological washing detergents work best at low
temperatures to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal
results but not as low as 20°C.
oLiquid or gel detergents are particularly suitable for low
temperature washing as they dissolve easier and quicker than
powders or tablets.
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
manufacturer should be followed
