HELPFUL TIPS FOR WASHING
Here are some practical hints to enable you to obtain the best washing results:
—
Use a low suds washing powder specially made for front loading washing
machines. An excessive formation of suds will cause unsatisfactory operation.
— The quantity of washing powder required depends on the amount of laundry
and on how soiled It is. It may therefore be necessary to vary the quanti¬
ties suggested in this book according to experience. To obtain the best
results when washing wool do not wash more than 2 lbs. at a time.
—
In order to get good results when washing synthetic material use a maxi¬
mum washing load of 5 to 6 lbs.
If your water Is hard It can be softened by adding special products such as
Calgon » to the washing powder in the appropriate compartment. These
products facilitate the action of the washing powder and help to give better
results.
—
Clothes should be sorted according to fabric type, degree of soil and colour
fastness.
Tears and open seams should be mended, loose buttons secured, zippers
closed and laces or belts collected in a cotton bag. Articles without a hem
should not be washed. Ensure pockets are emptied and spots of rust, paint,
ink etc. removed before washing.
Always turn off both water taps fully when the machine is not In use, even
if it is plumbed In.
If, after commencing a wash, you find that the wrong programme has been
selected, push the control knob fully in turning the Indicator knob clockwise
to the correct programme. Then pull control knob fully out again.
Washing powder should only be placed In the dispenser immediately prior
to the start of a programme. Do not leave washing powder in the dispenser
for any length of time as it may form lumps which can be difficult to dissolve.
It is advisable to inspect the filters in the water inlet hoses periodically and
clean if necessary.
