Preparing laundry for washing
For steps about how you can place your laundry properly in the washing machine,
.
Sorting the Laundry:
- Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.
- Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
Sorting the Laundry According to Labels:
- Always observe the instructions given on the garment care labels.
- Wash “Machine washable” or “Hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate programme.
- Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If you are not sure, check with a dry cleaner.
- Only use paints / colour changing and anti-limescale materials suitable for use in washing machines. Always observe the instructions on the packaging.
- Use “Machine washable” or “Hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate programme. Hang or lay out such clothes to dry and do not use in Wash & Wear auxiliary function selection.
Sorting the Laundry According to Types:
- Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwiring, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the product. Remove the metal pieces or wash such clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case. Such laundry may overheat and damage your clothes in Refresh program and Wash & Wear auxiliary function. Therefore, do not wash such laundry in Refresh program and Wash & Wear auxiliary function.
- Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.
- Put small size clothes such as infant’s socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
- Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain fasteners. Therefore, do not wash such tulle and curtains in Refresh program and Wash & Wear auxiliary function.
- If you plan to use the Wash & Wear auxiliary function, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing process.
- Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
- Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
- Before washing laundry made of angora wool, keep them in the freezer section of the refrigerator for few hours. This will ensure less lumps.
- Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the product. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the product in time and can cause damage.
