OPERATION
Preparing the Wash Load
Sort the wash load for best washing results, and
then prepare the clothes according to the symbols
on their care labels.
Sorting the Clothes
• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate
clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash dark or dyed
clothes separately from whites or light colours.
Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result
in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter
clothes.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately
lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics.
Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on
the lint collectors.
Checking the Clothes Care Label
The symbols tell you about the fabric content of
your garment and how it should be washed.
Symbols on the Care Labels
NOTE
• The dashes under the symbol give you
information about the type of fabric and the
maximum allowance of mechanical stress.
Checking the Clothes before
Loading
• To help distribute the load evenly during
spinning, combine large and small items in a
load.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar
items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance
load.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,
pens, coins and keys can damage both your
appliance and clothes.
• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in a
wash net.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure
that these items do not snag on other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains
to help lift dirt.
