Washcare Tips
●
Do not overload the machine (maximum load:
Wash 6kg and Dry 5kg), in addition to reducing
the quality of the wash this may also damage you
laundry and the machine.
● We strongly recommend that you do not wash
underwired bras in this machine. Should the wires
become detached it could cause damage to your
laundry and the machine. If the washcare label
states that the bra is machine washable, then we
advise placing it in a sealed pillow case or a
similar washbag.
! Remember you will be charged for a service call
resulting from a detached bra wire.
● Do not use the machine if the item to be washed
does not have a wash label.
Before washing laundry we recommend you:
● Pre-treat awkward stains with washable treatments.
Do not wash any items that have previously been
treated with solvents.
● Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings and close
press studs to prevent tangling.
● Empty all objects from pockets as they may
damage the laundry and the machine.
! Remember you will be charged for a service call
to rectify malfunction resulting from objects such
as coins, pens, hair grips etc. falling from pockets.
●
Limit the size of absorbent loads ie. towels, to 3kg
(7lb) to give good washing and rinsing results.
● Place small items in a wash bag.
●
Always follow the care label on items when
choosing the wash programme.
● Wash non-colourfast items or really dirty items
separately as they may affect other laundry.
