Washcare Tips - Hotpoint FEW10 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

STEP 8

Washcare Tips:

● Do not overload the machine
(maximum load 5.5kg).
In addition to reducing the
quality of the wash, this may also
damage your laundry and the
machine.
● We strongly recommend that you
do not wash underwired bras in
this machine. Should the wires
become detached it could cause
damage to your clothes and the
machine. If the washcare label
states that the bra is machine
washable, then we advise placing
it in a sealed pillow case or a
similar washbag.
Remember, you will be charged
for a service call resulting from a
detached bra wire.
● Do not use the machine if the
item to be washed does not have
a wash label.
Before washing laundry we
recommend that you do the
following:
● Pre-treat awkward stains with
washable treatments.
Do not wash any items that have
previously been treated with
solvents.
● Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings
and close press studs to prevent
tangling.
● Empty ALL objects from pockets
as they may damage the clothes
and the machine.
Remember, you will be charged
for a service call to rectify a
malfunction resulting from
objects, such as coins, pens, hair
grips etc. falling from pockets.
● Limit the size of absorbent loads
ie. towels, to 3kg (7lb) to give
good washing and rinsing results.
● Place small items in a wash bag.
● Always follow the care label on
items when choosing the wash
programme.
● Wash non-colourfast items or
really dirty laundry separately as
they may affect other items.
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, non-re
