washing a load of laundry
USING DELAY START
You can set the washing machine to finish your wash automatically at a later time, choosing from 3 to 24
hour delay (in 1 hour increments). Displayed hours means the time of finished washing-cycle.
To do this:
1. Manually or automatically set your washing machine for the type of clothes you are washing.
2. Press the Delay Start button repeatedly until the delay time is set.
3. Press the Start/Pause button. The Delay Start indicator will light, and the clock will begin
counting down until it reaches your finish time.
4. To cancel “Delay Start”, press the (On/Off) button, then turn the washing machine on
again.
WASHING TIPS AND HINTS
Sorting your laundry: Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:
• Type of fabric care label symbol: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks,
wools and rayon.
• Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.
• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.
• Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash programme for pure
new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to
the fabric care chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets: Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing
machine drum, and the water tank.
Securing fasteners: Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should
be tied together.
Prewashing cotton: Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give
perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is
particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not
wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are
washing.

Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton,
delicate items, silk), colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling.
Always use “low suds” laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the
degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your
water is, ask your water authority.
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
