Preparing the wash cycle Preparing your garments for washing o Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment’s wash care label. (see separate section on wash care symbols). o Your washing should also be sorted out according to the degree of soiling. o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty. o Remove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety pins etc).
A selection of wash care symbols o The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the highest temperature which the garment can be washed at. o If the wash care label does not appear in the above table, then please refer to the washing machine program chart.
Detergents and conditioners The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will depend on o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent. o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent. o The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is, then the more detergent you will need to use.

Then push the drawer fully back into position. The washer dryer drum The drum of your washer dryer is constructed from stainless steel. However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then it is possible for the drum to become stained.
Poor wash results My garments are looking grey and there are limescale deposits present in the drum of my washer dryer. o o o o There is not enough detergent being added. The incorrect detergent is being used. Stains are not being pre-treated. The correct wash program or wash temperature was not selected. I have followed the advice given above, but my garments are still coming out with grey stains on them. o The garments are soiled with oils, ointments or grease and were washed without enough detergent.
Cleaning the drain pump filter IMPORTANT: Switch off your washer dryer and disconnect the plug from your mains supply. You should clean out the filter approximately every twenty washes. If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently. o Open the flap that covers the filter. o Place a shallow dish underneath the flap, this will catch any water residue that comes out of the machine when the filter is opened and removed.
o Remove the filter and rinse out the filter under the tap. Remove any debris from the filter. o Remove any debris that is in the area of the appliance that you removed the drain pump filter from. o Screw the filter clockwise back into position, making sure that it is fully tightened. You should keep turning until you cannot turn it any further. o Shut the filter flap.
Removing stains Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the washing machine. o Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or grass. o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash. Stain removal rules o Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains. o Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
