Permanent press

Delicate

Hand wash

Do not wash

2 Sorting laundry.

• To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

• Different fabrics need to be washed at varying temperatures and spin speeds.

• Always sort dark colours from pale colours and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white and pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

– Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

– Colour (White, Lights, Darks)

Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics.

– Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)

Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

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 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.

• 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.

17

Drum type detergent must only be used in Front loaders.

excessive suds can be caused by using the wrong type of detergent.

When using a combined Front & Top loader detergent,

It is recommended to use only half the quantity of detergent that is recommended by the detergent manufacturer when washing normally soiled loads.

• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric softener may harden).

• Softener will automatically be added during the last rinse cycle.

• Do not open the drawer when water is being supplied.

• Solvents (benzene, etc) must not be used.

NOTE

• Do not pour fabric softener directly on the clothes.

Using tablet

1 Open the door and put tablets into the drum.

2 Load the laundry into the drum and close the door.

Adding water softener

• A water softener, such as Anti-limescale (e.g. Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of detergent in extremely hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.

Odor

This odor is caused by the rubber attached to the washing machine.

If the rubber door gasket and door seal area are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur from mold or foreign substances.

Odors can occur if foreign substances are left in the drainage pump filter.

Odors can occur if the drainage hose is not properly installed, causing siphoning (water flowing back inside the washing machine).

Using the dry function, odors can occur from lint and other laundry matter sticking to the heater.

(Dryer model only)

A particular odor can occur from drying wet clothes with hot air. (Dryer model only)

It is the normal odor of new rubber and will disappear after the machine has been run a few times.

Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly and check under the door seal for small items when unloading the washer.

Be sure to clean the drainage pump filter regularly.

When installing the drainage hose, be sure that it doesn’t become kinked or blocked.

This is not a malfunction.

The odor will disappear after a short while.
