•Symbols on the care labels.
Wash temperature
Normal machine wash
Permanent press
Delicate
Hand wash
Do not wash
2Sorting 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.
3Caring before loading.
•Combine large and small items in a load.
Load large items rst.
•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.
•Check the folds of the exible gasket (gray)
and remove any small articles.
CAUTION
•Check inside the drum and remove any items
from a previous wash.
•Remove any clothing or items from the exible
gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.

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 ushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the cycle.
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

•Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings
to prevent these items from snagging or
tangling on other clothes.
Thumping sound
Heavy wash loads may produce
a thumping sound. This is
usually normal.
•If sound continues, washing machine
is probably out of balance. Stop and
redistribute wash load.
