Operating the machine
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry in one of the following groups:
1. White cotton and linen as well as robust colourfast fabrics.
2. Synthetics and synthetic blends as well as non colourfast fabrics.
3. Delicate fabrics such as silks and rayon.
4. Wool.
Loading the machine
• It is important not to overload the machine as this will prevent it from washing prop-
erly. You should be able to fit a hand between the top of the drum and the wash load
in the drum.
