WHAT TO DO
Remember to separate whites and

Consider the wash temperature
you select for your coloured items.
Lower the temperature if you are
concerned.
Ensure the correct dose of
detergent is used for the load size
and soil level (refer to page 21).
Empty the machine and complete a
'Drum Clean' cycle (refer to page 28).
Separate larger items from smaller
items.
Load items loosely and individually
into the washer (ie not folded).

shirts.
Try washing average to smaller load
sizes.
