Your machine can wash a maximum load of 6kg (cotton).
Do not overload the machine (maximum load 6kg).
In addition to reducing the quality of the wash, this may
also damage your laundry and the machine.
We strongly recommend that you do not
wash underwired
bras in this machine. Should the wires become detached it
could cause damage to your clothes and the machine. If the
washcare label states that the bra is machine washable, then
we advise placing it in a sealed pillow case or a similar
washbag.
Do not use the machine if the item to be washed does not
have a wash label.
Before washing laundry we recommend that you do the
following:
Pre-treat awkward stains with washable treatments.
Do not wash any items that have previously been treated
with solvents.
Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings and close press studs to
prevent tangling.
Empty all objects from pockets as they may damage
clothes and the machine.
Limit the size of absorbent loads, for example towels to 3kg
(7lb) to give good washing and rinsing results.
Place small items in a wash bag.
Always follow the care label on items when choosing a wash
programme.
Wash non-colourfast items or really dirty clothes
separately as they may affect other items.
