3.1 Things to be done for energy saving
Following information will help you use the product in an
ecological and energy-efficient manner.
• Operate the product in the highest capacity allowed by the
programme you have selected, but do not overload; see,
"Programme and consumption table".
• Always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled
laundry.
• Do not use high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily
soiled or stained.
• Do not use detergent in excess of the amount
recommended on the detergent package.
3.2 Sorting the laundry
• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree
of soiling and allowable water temperature.
• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.
3.3 Preparing laundry for washing
• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired
bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the
machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by
putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• 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 attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and
tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled
products only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark
coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them
separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If
unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers
suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions
on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for
a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime
dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before
placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the
laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in
time and can cause damage.
