OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Washing effectiveness depends on water hardness as well as the recommendations from the
detergent manufacturers.
Note:

Keep detergents and additives in safe and dry places out of reach from children.
Clothes are classified according to the following characteristics:

Care labels: clothes to be washed are classified into cotton, blended fiber, synthetic fiber, silk,
wool and artificial fiber categories.

Color: white and colorful colors must be identified. All new colorful articles should be washed
separately.
Delicate articles must be washed separately. As for new pure wool textiles, curtains and silks, the soft
washing procedure shall be selected.
Clothes should be sorted before being put into washing machine. Curtains with hooks, must have
hooks removed before being washed.
Decorations on the clothes may damage the washing machine. Clothes with buttons or embroideries,
should be turned inside-out before being washed.
Fasteners:
Zippers should be zipped closed and buttons or hooks shall be fixed.
It is suggested to put bras into a pillow slip with zip or buttons
sealed to prevent the steel wire from popping out of bras into the
drum and damaging the machine.
Delicate textiles such as laced curtains, small articles (stockings,
handkerchiefs, ties etc.) should be put into string bag for washing.
When washing a single big and heavy dress such as Turkish towels,
jeans, padded jackets etc., may cause load imbalance. Therefore it
is suggested to add one or two more clothes to be washed together
to avoid excessive vibration and movement of the machine.
Baby articles (baby clothes and towels) should be washed sepa-
rately.
Rinsing times are increased to ensure the thorough rinsing and
cleaning without the detergent residues in clothing.
It is suggested that areas that are stained such as white socks,
collars and sleeves etc. be hand washed prior to washing for a
more effective wash.
Confirm the washing capacity:
Do not use excessive loads; otherwise washing performance will decrease . Confirm
the maximum washing load according to the following table.
