Sorting And Loading - Fisher & Paykel WH8560F Installation Instructions & User Manual

When preparing your wash load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites,
especially when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at higher
temperatures. 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. The
following are recommendations for what cycles and settings you may wish to wash
different items on, and suggestions for special wash requirements.
