6. Preparation Before Washing Clothes

Please follow these steps carefully to avoid trouble with your washing machine and damaging your clothing.

6.1 Washing Considerations

• New clothes in particular, can leach colour onto other clothing items, particularly whites. Consider washing these and bright colours separately.
• Stained clothing should be treated with a stain remover, prior to washing.
• Temperature sensitive clothes should be washed in accordance with their care direction label. Otherwise distortion and/or changes in colour could occur.
• Never allow washing to sit in the machine for a long period of time - particularly when wet. Clothes can become mouldy and develop an odour.
• Certain clothing cannot be washed in a washing machine and their care directions may state dry cleaning or hand washing required.
• Wrinkle style clothes, embossed clothes, resin clothes, etc may become distorted when immersed in water.
• Avoid washing clothes without care direction labels within the appliance, to be safe.
• Always remove all items from clothing pockets, as hard items can cause damage to the appliance.
• Try to wash clothing colours and sizes in like loads, as this will improve the effectiveness of the washing and results.
• Close all clothing zips and ensure all buttons are fastened securely.
• Delicate items such as bras, handkerchiefs and ties should be washed within a special washing bag, to prevent damage to themselves and other clothes.
• When washing a large single item that could become heavy (i.e. a towel or jacket), it can cause the appliance to become unbalance during its spin cycle. Therefore it's recommended to add one or two more clothing items to help the machine balance.
• Try to remove any pet hair, dust and stains from clothing prior to washing.
• Baby clothing should be washed separately.
• Clothing that gets easily "fuzzed" or loses fibres easily, should be washed separately.
• Black clothing items should be washed separately.
• Do not wash waterproof materials within the washing machine.

6.2 Pay Attention to Detergents

• Only use suitable front load washing machine detergents with this appliance. Powders and liquid detergents only.
• Only ever use the recommended quantity of detergent, as per the manufacturer's guidelines, as an excessive quantity can cause excessive bubbles and overflow to occur.
• It can also result in detergent residue remaining on the clothing after completion of the wash cycle.

Warning! Always keep detergents and additives out of reach from children.

6.3 Clothing Classifications

The symbol types on care labels are typically classified into the following textiles: Cotton, Blended Fibre, Synthetic Fibre, Silk, Wool and Artificial Fibre.

Confirm the Washing Capacity

Never load the machine with excessive weights, as it will affect your washing results.

[Table showing Fibre type and Maximum Load Capacity for Cotton, Synthetics, Wool, Delicates]

6.4 Washing Clothes For The First Time

Before washing any clothes, please perform one cycle without clothes inside as follows:

• Connect the power source ? and water ?.
• Insert a small amount of detergent into Compartment II of the detergent drawer and close it.
• Select a washing program.
• Press the "Start/Pause" button ▶️ on the appliance.
• Allow the program to complete and your washing machine is now ready for use.

6.5 Selecting A Procedure

You should select your washing program based on the type of clothing, quantity and dirtiness level, in combination with the following temperature table.

[Table showing Temperature Mode and Application for 90°C, 60°C, 40°C, 30°C, 20°C, Cold Water]

To select a program:

• First turn the Program Selection Dial to the corresponding wash program, according to the type of textiles being washed.
• Secondly, select the desired temperature based on the level of dirtiness. Note: Generally the higher the temperature, the more power that's consumed.
• Finally, select your desired spin speed. The higher the spin speed, the drier the textiles will be at completion, however more delicate textiles will be more wrinkled. Delicate textiles should be set with a lower spin speed.

6.6 Programs

Selecting the main washing program depends on the types of clothing to be washed, as follows:

• Cotton: To increase the washing results, the main washing time is increased. It is recommended for washing clothes for babies or worn by the persons with skin allergies. It is recommended for washing durable cotton articles, for example: bed sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, gowns, underwear, etc.
• Synthetic: The procedure is shorter compared with that for cottons and the washing intensity is relatively gentle. It is recommended for washing synthetic articles, for example: shirts, coats, etc.
• Baby Care: Washing the baby's clothes, it can make the baby's wear cleaner and make the rinse performance better to protect the baby skin.
• Denim: You can select this procedure for washing jeans and denim materials.
• Mix: You can select this procedure for washing durable clothes, that typically require more wash time and intensity. It is ideal for any "daily" clothing such as cotton, including sheets, pillowcases, bathrobes and underwear.
• Colours: Suitable for washing a load of coloured laundry as the cycle is done at a low temperature to ensure colours do not run or fade.
• Drain Only: A very short cycle to ensure the machine is fully drained by removing any residual water from a previous load.
• Spin Only: This procedure provides a spin only option. Residual soapy water shall be drained out before spinning.
• Rinse & Spin: This procedure provides a short rinse cycle followed by a spin cycle.
• Wool: You can select this procedure to wash wool textiles labelled with "Machine Wash". Please select the proper washing temperature according to the clothing's care label. Furthermore, the proper detergent amount should be used for wool textiles, which is generally less than normal wash loads.
• Delicate: You can select this procedure to wash your delicate clothes. Its washing intensity is gentler and spin speed is low compared with the "Synthetic" procedure. It is recommended for washing any articles requiring a soft wash.
• Quick: You can select this procedure for washing a small quantity of clothing, where items are only lightly soiled.
• Sports: You can select this procedure for washing sport and active-wear clothing.
• Hand Wash: Select this cycle for clothes that require handwashing. With very low temperature and spin speed this cycle is suitable to wash very delicate items.
• Cotton Eco: This procedure saves energy and limits the washing temperature to 40°C or 60°C. Use with a small quantity of clothes which are only lightly dirty.
• My Cycle: The My Cycle function can be used to define and save your favourite drying program for easier selection in the future (i.e. Use this function to save your most frequently used drying settings). To set the My Cycle function: Use the program selector dial to select your required program and select any other drying functions. Press and hold the "Spin Speed" button for 3 seconds until the display flashes, indicating that your desired program has been saved.
