Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine
washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the
clothes.
Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty
and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing
frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint,
ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras
must NOT be machine washed.
Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws,
stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause
extensive damage and must not be placed into the
machine.
Garments which have been in contact with volatile
petroleum products should not be machine washed.
If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be
taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the
garment before placing in the machine.
Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable
belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is pos-
sible for such items to slip down between the tub and
the inner drum.
Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener.
Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer
to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.
As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed
in large commercial machines because of their bulk,
please check with the manufacturer of the item be-
fore washing in a domestic machine.
The users should always check that they have not
left their gas lighters (disposable or otherwise) in their
clothing.
Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes
to preserve the door seal.
