Washing
Before washing laundry:-
Pre-treat stains.
Close zips,fasten belts,tie strings etc...and press studs to prevent tangling.
Remove all items from pockets.
Limit size of absorbent loads to give good washing/rinsing results.
Place small items in a wash bag.
Check wash labels as some items may require a cool programme.
Wash non-colour fast items,woollens or really dirty clothes separately as they may affect
other items.
Laundry will not wash properly if you over load your appliance.
Laundry without a wash label should not be machine washed.
Drying (Washer Dryer only)
To carry out a drying only programme the laundry must previously have been washed and
spun.
When drying bedspreads,single blankets etc...we recommend that you remove,shake and
reload during the cycle to ensure faster and more even drying.
Starched articles should be dried together to avoid distribution of starch onto non-starched
items.
Be careful not to over dry.
After you have dried a particularly ‘fluffy’load or you have used the machine as a dryer only,
you MUST, after the load has been removed,set your machine to rinse and spin.
Washcare tips
Items Not Suitable For Tumble Drying
Garments with the ITCL code -DO NOT TUMBLE DRY
Woollens - except on special dry programme (see page 16).
Large bulky items eg.quilts,bedspreads pillows etc...expand when dry,preventing
air flow through the appliance.
Items containing plastic film,foam rubber or rubber like materials eg.pillows, cushions,
PVC rainwear or inflammable articles which contain inflammable substances eg.towels
contaminated with hair lacquer.
Fibreglass (eg.some types of curtains).
Items which have been dry cleaned.
Cutting costs effectively:-
Maximise the load size Achieve the best use of energy, water,detergent and time by using
the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load
instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need a pre-wash? For heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent,time,water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting pre-wash for slight to normal
soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required? Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water
before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy
by using a 60˚C wash programme.
Before using a drying programme Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to
reduce the water content before using a drying programme (Washer Dryer only).
