Consider the wash temperature
you select for your coloured items.
Lower the temperature if you are
concerned.

detergent is used for the load size
and soil level (refer to page 26).

'Drum Clean' cycle (refer to page 36).
Separate larger items from smaller
items.
Load items loosely and individually
into the washer (ie not folded).
