Helpful tips for successful washing
Here are some practical hints to help you
get the best washing results.
Don't overload the machine. The clothes will
not move around freely and the washing
powder may not dissolve properly.
Always use a low lather washing powder
specially made for front loading machines.
Excessive foaming gives an unsatisfactory
wash and my even harm the machine. The
quantity of washing powder required
depends on the amount of laundry and how
soiled it is.
It may therefore be necessary to vary the
quantities suggested on page 23. You will
be able to tell if you need to do this when
you are used to the machine.
Don't put washing powder into the dispenser
until just before starting the programme. If
the powder is left for any length of time in
the dispenser it may form lumps which are
difficult to dissolve.
For best results, do not wash more than IKg
(2 lb) of woollen articles at any time.
Wash only woollen articles marked "machine
washable".
For best results, do not wash more than
1.5Kg (3-5 lb) of synthetic fabrics in one
load. Synthetic fabrics need plenty of room
to move around or they tend to crease.
Clothes should be sorted according to the
fabric, colour fastness and degree of soiling
(see page 22).
Mend open seams and tears before
washing.
Close zips, empty pockets and secure
buttons. Collect laces, washable belts,
socks, etc,, and put them in a bag for
washing.
(This is important as should a coin
become lodged between the tub and
drum it can cause extensive damage).
Remove spots of rust, paint, ink and grass
stains before washing (see instructions page
30).
Don't wash light coloured fabrics with dark
ones. One may leave specks of fluff on the
other.
Don't risk washing coloured articles unless
you are sure they are colourfast. It's worth
hand washing the article to find out.
If you live in a hard water area, you can add
water softening powder to the washing
machine in compartment "b". For the
quantity of water softener to use, see packet
directions.
