- 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.
- Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
- 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.

CAUTION
- 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.
Adding Cleaning Products
Detergent Dosage
- Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and washing temperature.
- If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will result in poor washing results or cause heavy load to the motor and cause a malfunction.
- If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
- You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.
- Do not use liquid detergent if you are using Delay End, or if you have selected Pre Wash, as the liquid may harden.
- If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent amount.
Drum type detergent must only be used in Front loaders. excessive suds can be caused by using the wrong type of detergent. - Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.
- Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing the detergent and water temperature.
- When using the washing machine, use designated detergent for each type of clothing only:
- General powdered detergents for all types of fabric
- Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
- Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or designated detergents only for wool
- For better washing performance and whitening, use detergent with the general powdered bleach.
- Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.
NOTE
- Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or bad odours.
- Full load : According to manufacturer’s recommendation.
- Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount
- Minimum load : 1/2 of full load
