Sorting Laundry
1 Look for a care label on your clothes.
•This will tell you about the fabric content of
your garment and how it should be washed.
•Symbols on the care labels.
[Wash temperature]
[Normal machine wash]
[Permanent press]
[Delicate]
[Hand wash]
[Do not wash]
2 Sorting laundry.
•To get the best results, sort clothes into
loads that can be washed with the same
wash cycle.
•Different fabrics need to be washed at
varying temperatures and spin speeds.
•Always sort dark colours from pale colours
and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discolouration of
white and pale garments. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
−Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of
soil.
−Colour (White, Lights, Darks):
Separate white fabrics from coloured
fabrics.
−Lint (Lint producers, Collectors):
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
3 Caring before loading.
•Combine large and small items in a load.
Load large items first.
•Large items should not be more than half
the total wash load. Do not wash single
items. This may cause an unbalanced load.
Add one or two similar items.
•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 washing machine and your
clothes.
•Close zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don’t snag on other
clothes.
•Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto
stains to help lift dirt.
CAUTION
•Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known
to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if the
product care label on the item permits machine
washing. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in severe damage to your laundry,
your washing machine and/or property damage
as a result of abnormal vibration of the washing
machine.
−Examples of water-proof or water-resistant
items include certain mattress pads, mattress
covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing
apparel, outdoor gear and similar items.

Adding Cleaning Products
Detergent Dosage
•Detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacturer and
selected according to type, colour, soiling of the
fabric and washing temperature.
•If too much detergent is used, too many suds
can occur and this will result in poor washing
results or cause heavy load to the motor.
•If you wish to use liquid detergent follow
the guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
•You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
cycle immediately.
•Do not use liquid detergent if you are using
Delay, or if you have selected
Pre Wash+Normal, as the liquid may harden.
•If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
•Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
•Refer to the label of the clothes, before
choosing the detergent and water temperature.
•When using the washing machine, use
designated detergent for each type of clothing
only:
−General powdered detergents for all types
of fabric
−Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
−Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or
designated detergents only for wool
•For better washing performance and whitening,
use detergent with the general powdered
bleach.
•Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the cycle.
•Dilute liquid detergent with water and pour into
the drum, start the cycle.
•Using liquid detergent without diluting, or
leaving laundry for a long time after pouring
diluted liquid detergent into the drum might
cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of
cloth.
NOTE
•Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
•Full load : According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
•Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount
•Minimum load : 1/2 of full load
Adding Detergent
•Follow the detergent package directions.
Using too little detergent is a common cause of
laundry problems. Use more detergent if you
have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily
soils or lower water temperature.
•Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should
not be used in your washing machine. When
washing woolens, remember to use detergent
suitable for washing woolens.
NOTE
•Too much detergent, bleach or softener may
cause an overflow.

20
EN
Adding Fabric Softener
•Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling
can cause early dispensing of the fabric
softener, which may stain clothes. Close the
dispenser drawer slowly.
•Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent
drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric softener
may harden).
•Softener will automatically be added during the
last rinse cycle.
•Do not open the drawer when water is being
supplied.
•Solvents (benzene, etc.) should not be used.
NOTE
•Do not pour fabric softener directly on the
clothes.
Adding Liquid Bleach
•Check clothing care label for special
instructions and separate the laundry to be
bleached.
•Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
•Measure the recommended amount of liquid
bleach carefully following instructions on the
bottle.
•Before starting the washing machine, pour the
measured amount of bleach directly into the
bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling.
Powdered bleach should be mixed with water
before being poured into the dispenser.
NOTE
•Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly
onto clothes or into the wash basket. This may
cause change of color or damage the laundry.
•Do not pour powdered bleach into the bleach
dispenser.
