WASH PREPARATION
Sorting
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially
when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at highertemperatures.
Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oilysoils (eg some foods
and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water. Separate out sheets and towels,
wash these separately on the
SHEETS and EXTRA CARE (TOWELS) cycles.
The care label will tell you about the fabric of the garment and how it should be washed.
Before you load
z
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
z
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
doona covers) and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer
andyour clothes.
z
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the washer.
z
Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
Selecting the right detergent
z
Your washer is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs a low sudsing detergent to
prevent over-sudsing problems. This is the same type of detergent Front Loaders use.
z
We recommend the use of liquid detergents in most washing situations to achieve the
best results. This is particularly important when washing dark garments.
z
When washing woollens, use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually
very high foaming.
z
Do not use soap flakes or granulated soap powders.
How much detergent?
Follow the instructions stated on the back of the detergent packet as a guide to the correct
amount to use. The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of
soil in your clothes and the size of your load. Jeans and work clothes may need more and
towels usually less.
z
If you have over-foaming problems, reduce your dosage.
z
If your clothes are not clean enough, try using a bit more.
