Preparation Before Washing
Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it
should be washed.
Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Sorting
To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to th e type and amount of soil.
• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• LINT (Lint Producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.
Lint Producers Terry cloth, Towels, Nappies, Diapers
Lint Collectors Synthetics, Socks
Check before Loading
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are emtpy. Things such as nails, hairclips, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.
• Remove belts, underwires, etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.

* Temperature below 18°C... (65°F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor
cleaning etc.
In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels is define COLD water as 26-29°C... (80-85°F).
If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and
clean effectively.
Using Detergent
Detergent
Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.
Use more Detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower Water Temperature.
Choosing the right Detergent
We recommend the use of domestic Detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated
soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use
