Brief instructions

The headings numbered

A, B, C, . . .

show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.

A Sort the laundry

^ Empty all pockets.

,

Foreign objects (e.g. nails,

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.

^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should

be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!

Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

,

If you use a solvent-based

cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
benzene) to pre-treat a stain, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) are protected, and that the
cleaning agent is rinsed off before
washing the garment in the machine.

,

Do not use solvent-based

cleaning agents in or on this machine.

^ Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in
a mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.

– Curtains: Remove lead weights first

or place in a laundry bag.

– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:

Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.

– Knitted garments, trousers and

jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.

– Close any zips, fasten hooks and

eyes etc before washing.

– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent

small items from being rolled up
inside them.

Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label. (
