EN
Sorting Laundry
1
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.
• Symbols on the care labels.
[Wash temperature]
[Normal machine wash]
[Permanent press]
[Delicate]
[Hand wash]
[Do not wash]
2
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.
3
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.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips,
matches, pens, coins and keys can
damage both your washing machine and
your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don’t snag on other
clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a
small amount of detergent dissolved water
onto stains to help lift dirt.
CAUTION
• Do not wash or spin any item labeled or
known to be water-proof or water-resistant,
even if the product care label on the item
permits machine washing. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in severe
damage to your laundry, your washing
machine and/or property damage as a result
of abnormal vibration of the washing machine.
− Examples of water-proof or water-resistant
items include certain mattress pads,
mattress covers, rain gear, camping gear,
skiing apparel, outdoor gear and similar
items.

EN
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.
• 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
Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash,
as the liquid may harden.
• If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
• 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.
• Dilute liquid detergent with water and pour into
the drum, start the cycle.
• Using liquid detergent without diluting, or
leaving laundry for a long time after pouring
diluted liquid detergent into the drum might
cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of
cloth.
NOTE
• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
• Full load : According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
• Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount
• Minimum load : 1/2 of full load
Adding 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.
• Soap flakes or granulated soap powders
should not be used in your washing machine.
When washing woolens, remember to use
detergent suitable for washing woolens.
NOTE
• Too much detergent, bleach or softener may
cause an overflow.
21
EN
Adding Fabric Softener
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the
fabric softener, which may stain clothes. Close
the dispenser drawer slowly.
• Do not leave the fabric softener in the
detergent drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric
softener may harden).
• Softener will automatically be added during
the last rinse cycle.
