Note: when sorting laundry
– check there are no metal objects in the laundry
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins
etc...);
– In the event of a machine failure during the
warranty period and foreign objects are found to
be the cause of the failure a labour charge may be
made for the call out an engineer.
– button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;
– remove curtain hooks;
– pay close attention to the labels on items
– if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or
a special stain remover.
– We recommend that you do not do a full load of
just towelling items as these become too heavy
since they absorb a lot of water, and may become
too heavy for the drum.
