Washing Considerations
- The working condition of the washer should be
(0-40)°C. If used under 0°C,the inlet valve and draining system may be damaged. If the machine is placed under condition of 0°C or less, then it should be transferred to normal ambient temperature to ensure the water supply hose and drain hose are not frozen before use. - Please check the labels and the explanation of using detergent before wash. Use non-foaming or less-foaming detergent suitable for machine washing properly.
- New clothes in particular, can leach color onto other clothing items, particularly whites.
- Consider washing these and bright colors 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 color could occur.
- Never allow washing to sit in the machine for a long period of time- particularly when wet. Clothes can become moldy and develop an odor.
- Certain clothing cannot be washed in a washing machine and their care directions may state dry cleaning or hand washing required.
