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

Sorting and loading

16
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.
