RUSSELL HOBBS Washing Machine RH1042 - Manual (Page 10)

Using your machine

Open the door of your machine.

Place your laundry in your machine.
Note: Maximum loading capacity may vary based on the laundry type you
wash, degree of contamination and the programme you have chosen. Do
not exceed maximum dry loading capacity indicated in the programme table
for washing programmes.
You can take the following table of weights as an indication.

Place each piece of laundry into the machine individually.

Ensure that no laundry is caught between the cover and below the seal when
closing the door of your machine.

When closing the door, push the door of your machine until you hear the locking
sound
– this indicates the door is fully closed.

Close the door of your machine properly; otherwise your machine will not start the
washing operation.
Detergent
The amount of detergent needed per cycle will depend on the following criteria:

Refer to detergent manufacturers guidlines to determing how much detergent is
needed. Do not prewash your less stained laundry items and only put a slight
amount of detergent in the 2
nd
compartment of the detergent drawer.

For very dirty and stained laundry items, select a programme including
prewashing, and put ¼ of the normal amount of detergent in the 1
st
compartment
of the detergent drawer then put the remaining ¾ of it into the 2
nd
compartment.

Use detergents produced for automatic washing machines in your machine. The
amount of detergent you should use for your laundry is printed on the detergent
package.

The amount of the detergent you will use will increase as the amount of laundry
increases.

Put the softener in the softener compartment in the detergent drawer. Do not
exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, softener will flow into the washing water when
flushing through.

Softeners with a high density should be thinned with water before being put in the
drawer. This is because high-density softener may block the pipes.
