• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate
clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash dark or dyed
clothes separately from whites or light colours.
Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result
in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter
clothes.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately
lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics.
Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on
the lint collectors.

Wash / Fabric type
Checking the Clothes before
Loading
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
• Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load. Do not wash single items. This
may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two
similar items.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,
pens, coins and keys can damage both your
appliance and clothes.
• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in a
wash net.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure
that these items do not snag on other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains
to help lift dirt.
Adding Detergents and
Softeners
Detergent Dosage
• Detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacturer and
selected according to type, colour, soiling of the
fabric and the washing temperature. Use only
detergents that are suitable for Drum (front
load) type washers.
• If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
• If too much detergent is used, too many suds
can occur and this will result in poor washing
results or cause heavy load to the motor.
