Before the first washing
Select a cycle (COTTON 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash
without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during
manufacturing.
Caring before washing
1. Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and
how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can
occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
one.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)
Color (White, Lights, Darks)
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)
3. 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 out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins
and keys can damage both your washer 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 little detergent
dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to
help shift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and
remove any small articles,if any.
• Check inside of the drum and remove any left items
in it for next wash cycle.
• Remove any clothing or items on the flexible gasket
to prevent clothing and the gasket damages.
