Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour fastness and degree of soilage. White items should not be washed with coloured items. Wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time. Treat stains such as paint, ink, rust and grass before washing. Avoid washing frayed or torn articles. When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures, always select the lowest temperature. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance. The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide: 1000g=1kg Sheet ......................................... 700-1000 g Pillow case ..................................100-200 g Tablecloth ....................................400-500 g Serviette ........................................50-100 g Tea towel .......................................70-120 g Linen hand towel ..........................100-150 g Towelling hand towel ...................150-250 g Towelling bath towel ................... 700-1000g Bath robe ................................. 1000-1500 g Man's shirt ...................................200-300 g Apron ...........................................150-200 g 8 Always: Empty pockets Ensure buttons and zips are fastened Consult the care label on the garment. Only wash fabrics are designed to be machine washed. Place small items such as socks, laces, handkerchiefs etc in a washing bag or pillow case, as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum. Items that should not be put in the machine: Underwired bras. Garments which have been in contact with volatile or petroleum based products. Some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in large commercial machines. Check with the manufacturer of the item. Help the Environment: To save water, energy and help protect the environment. Do not use a pre-wash for normally soiled washing. Wash full loads Pre-treat stains and then wash at a lower temperature. Only use the advised quantities of detergent and fabric softener. WHICH DETERGENT ? To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. Whites We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures. Non Biological If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal. Coloureds For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours. Delicate items When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates. Laundry Bleach For additional stain removal you may wish to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in addition to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable fabrics including silks, woollens and coloureds. AND IN WHICH FORM ? Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you choose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is down to personal choice. Traditional Powders Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum. Traditional Liquids Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. Compact Powders and Liquids Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. * if you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme. Fabric Conditioners These are ideal for improving "softness", and also reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier. They are available in two types. For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol . Follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level. Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dryer. We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer. 9 WASH SYMBOLS Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results.
