buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or
torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust,
and grass before washing. Underwired bras must
NOT be machine washed.
● Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws,
stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause

volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken
to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment
before placing in the machine.
● Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts
etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for
such items to slip down between the tub and the
inner drum.
● Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener.
Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer
to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.
● As some duvets and eiderdowns should be
washed/dried in large commercial machines because
of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of
the item before washing in a domestic machine.
● The users should always check that they have not left
their gas lighters (disposable or otherwise) in their
clothing.

chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid.These are of a
volatile nature and could cause an explosion.
Only tumble dry items which have been washed in
water or require airing.
● Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the
drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash-
through-to-dry you should use the conventional
detergent dispenser drawer.
