WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

• These Washing Instructions are of a general nature and you should get good wash results by following them.
• However, due to the variables of fabric types, soil levels, detergent types and available program settings you may find some combinations of these which do not always result in the perfect wash.
• If for example you see residuals of detergent or soils on some items, please read the section Residues on washed items paragraph.
• Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of programs, detergent and load sorting for different load types and soils.

SORT YOUR WASHING INTO SEPARATE WASH LOADS

1. Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes.
2. Colour fast and non-colourfast fabrics should be separated.
3. Knowing the type of fabrics you have and how dirty they are will help when you make selections from the wash program options.
4. Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and colour from other fabrics which are lint producers. Some examples are listed below:

DETERGENT

• Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.

WARNING!

• Don’t use the wrong type of detergent.
• You must use a low sudsing detergent designed for front load washing machines or high efficiency top loaders, such as Cold Power for Front
• Loaders and High Efficiency Top
• Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.
• Don’t use soap-based products in your washing machine.
• Don’t use too much detergent. This can result in excessive suds that can cause low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading the motor during spin stages of the wash program.
• Don’t use too little detergent because you will get a poor wash. If you think you need more, increase dosages by only small amounts to avoid excessive suds.

Quantity of detergent to be used

1. Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
2. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.
3. The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric delicates, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
4. The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.
5. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.
6. Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.
7. Not enough washing powder causes: the washload to turn grey, greasy clothes.
8. Too much washing powder causes: sudsing, reduced washing effect, inadequate rinsing.
9. Use less detergent if: you are washing a small load, the laundry is lightly soiled, large amounts of foam form during washing

Lint is a collection of threads and fluff which comes off your clothes during washing. Your washing machine collects this lint in the lint fifilter. It is important to clean out this lint fifilter preferably after each wash.

How to clean the lint filter

Remove the Cap Agitator and fifilter column from the centre of the agitator.

Turn the bag inside out and remove the lint.

Wash the fifilter bag and dispenser cup in hot water.

Reassemble the filter to the column and place it back in the centre of the agitator.

The dispenser needs to be cleaned regularly, preferably after each wash. Inspect the dispenser after each wash to see if there is any residue of detergent.

To do this proceed as follows:

CLEANING THE DISPENSER

1. Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.
2. Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it from the runners.
3. Clean the dispenser drawer with hot water and a brush, eg. an old toothbrush.
