Sorting And Loading - Fisher & Paykel CleanSmart WL8060P Installation Instructions & User Manual

When sorting your wash load and loading your CleanSmart™ washer there are some
important things to consider:
Sorting
To get the best wash results it pays to sort your clothes before washing.
Care labels provide valuable information about the fabric type and how the garment
● ●
should be washed.
Sort items according to what they are soiled with – some soils, like mud and blood are
● ●
best washed in cold water. Oily soils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best
washed in warm water.
Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new.
● ●
Some items are lint givers (eg towels, nappies), while others are lint collectors (eg black
● ●
trousers, synthetic socks). Always wash lint givers and collectors separately.
LINT GIVERS
Towels
Flannelette sheets
Nappies
Before you load
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
● ●
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet
● ●
covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your CleanSmart™
washer and your clothes.
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag.
● ●
Pre-treat any stains taking care not to spray or wipe pre-treaters around and directly on
● ●
your washer. These can damage the plastic surfaces.
Loading
CleanSmart™ washer is more efficient when washing larger loads. So try to wash larger
● ●
loads without packing clothes too tightly into the wash bowl. Wait until you have at
least 4 or 5 items before you do a wash.
For the best wash, only fill the washer to the top of the stainless steel bowl (ie to just
● ●
underneath the plastic ring).
Always separate out your sheets and wash them on their own using the specifically
● ●
designed 'Sheets' cycle. Your sheets will wash better and last longer this way. Load
sheets in parcels to the side of the low profile agitator and in layers around the bowl.
Do not load sheets across the centre of the low profile agitator.
Never wrap items around the low-profile agitator like a snake, or spread them over the
● ●
agitator. Instead, place them in as loose parcels. This will help prevent tangling and out
of balance issues.
For best results and longevity, always separate out your towels and wash them on their
● ●
own using the specifically designed 'Towels' cycle.
