Caring before loading.
• Combine large and small items in a load.
Load large items first.
• Large items should not be more than half
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 washing machine and
your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don't snag on other
clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a
small amount of detergent dissolved water
onto stains to help lift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket
(gray) and remove any small articles.
CAUTION
• Check inside the drum and remove any items
from a previous wash.
• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible
gasket to prevent clothing and gasket
damage.

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 washing temperature.
• 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.
• If you wish to use liquid detergent follow the
guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
cycle immediately.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you are using
Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash,
as the liquid may harden.
• If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
• Refer to the label of the clothes, before
choosing the detergent and water
temperature.
• When using the washing machine, use
designated detergent for each type of clothing
only:
− General powdered detergents for all types of
fabric
− Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
− Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or
designated detergents only for wool
• For better washing performance and
whitening, use detergent with the general
powdered bleach.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the cycle.
