temperature selected in
relation to the type of
soil.
WHAT TO DO
Do not overload washer.
Use the 'Easy Iron' or 'Handwash' cycle
for creasable items.
Select a slower spin speed.
Laundry left sitting wet is more likely
to crease. If not removing clothes
from washer immediately at end of
cycle, select the 'Wrinkle Free' option
(WM1490F, WM1490P and WH1480P
models only). Do not leave wet washing
sitting in a washing basket.
Select a lower wash temperature. Check
items care label for correct care.
Sort load so that items of similar weight
are washed together (refer to page 22).
Select a wash cycle that is appropriate
for the amount of dirt (refer to pages
28 – 30).
Ensure the correct dose of detergent
is used for the load size and soil level
(refer to page 26).
Ensure the washer is not overloaded
in terms of its capacity or the cycle
selected (refer to pages 28 – 30).
Select a higher soil level option if
available (WM1490P and WM1480P
models only).
Select 'Pre Wash' for particularly dirty
loads (refer to page 32).
Wash heavily and lightly soiled
garments separately.
After washing particularly dirty clothing,
we recommend putting the washer
through a 'Rinse' cycle after the load
has been removed, to wash away any
remnants of dirt and to prevent it
contaminating future washes.
Select a wash temperature suitable for
the type of soil, eg warm for greasy soils,
cold for muddy soils. Increasing the wash
temperature generally improves soil
removal and overall wash performance.
