Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with

colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may

unravel.
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
●
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
●
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

It is essential to wash new coloured items separately

when washing for the first time.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
●
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
White items should not be washed with coloured
●
items.
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
●
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.
Once you have finished using the machine, you are
●
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.
