Washing tips and hints
Sorting your laundry : Sort your laundry according to the following
characteristics:
• Type of fabric care label symbol : Sort laundry into cottons, mixed
fibers, synthetics, silks, wools and rayon.
• Colour : Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items
separately.
• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve
the washing action.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate
wash program for pure new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check
the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care
chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets : Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage
linen, the washing machine drum, and the water tank.
Securing fasteners : Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks;
loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Prewashing cotton : Your new washing machine, combined with
modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving
energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is
particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining load capacity : Do not overload the washing machine
or your laundry may not wash properly. Use the chart below to
determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing.
