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. Water Temperature and spin speed.

Sorting

To get the best results. different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

• SOIL (Heavy. Normal. Light) Separate clothes according to the 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. Chenille. Towels. Nappies. Diapers
  • Lint Collectors Synthetics. Corduroy. Permanent Press. Socks.

Check before Loading

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hair clips, 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. under wires. etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.
• Pretreat any dirt and stains.
• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.
• Check the washing instructions.
• Remove tissue in pockets.

CAUTION:

Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known to be water prot or water-resistant. even if the product care label on the item permits machine washing. Failure to follow these instructions could
Tesult in severe damage to your laundry. your washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal vibration of the washer.

• 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.

Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil

Use PreWash

• Normal cycle for very soiled clothes. In case of heavily soiled clothes. pretreatment may require before the cycle.
• Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid Detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps. liquid Detergent or a paste of water and granular Detergent.
• Use a pretreat soil and stain remover. Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove. (For more detail refer to page 13)

Loading

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes. cleaning fluids etc.)

Load Size

The Water Level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. To add items after washer has started. press Start button and submerge additional items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.

Light and Large-sized clothing

Clothes like downs and woollens are light weight. large and float easily. Use. a nylon net and wash them in a small amount of water If the laundry floats during the wash cycle. it may become damaged. Use dissolved Detergent to prevent the Detergent from clumping.

Long laundry items

Use nylon nets for long. DELICATE items. For laundry with long strings or long length. a net will prevent tangling during washing. Fasten zippers. hook. and strings to make sure that these items a don't snag on other clothes.

Grounding Method with Ground insert space Terminal

If the AC current outlet has a ground terminal. then separate grounding is not regutes. Note that AC power outlet configurations may differ from country to country.

Other Grounding Method

Buying Copper plate
Connect the Ground Wire to a Ground Copper plate and bury it more than 75 cm in the ground.

Using Ground Wire

Care and Maintenance

Cold water washing

• If you always use Cold water. we recommend that a Warm or Hot wash be used at regular intervals e.g. every Sth wash should be at least a Warm one.

When you have finished
