WASHING MACHINE/WASHER

WASHING MACHINE
INSTALLATION:
-Should be kept at places where temperatures not too high nor too low.
-Allowable slope under entire washer is 1 degree.
-Adjusting the washing machine level properly prevents excessive noise and vibration.
-If the floor is uneven adjust the adjustable feet as required.
-The power outlet should not be loaded with another appliance.
-Do not place or store any laundry products on top of the washer at any times as they can damage the finish or the controls.
-Horizontal tap should be used and not the extension or square shaped taps.
-Drain hose should be firmly tied to protect the floor from damage due to water leakage.

POINTS TO REMEMBER BEFORE WASHING:
-Check the care labels on the garments which will tell about the fabric content of the cloth and how it should be washed.
-Sorting-Sort clothes into loads according to :
-Soil(heavy, normal, light)-separated according to amount of soil
-Colour(white, light, dark)-Separate white from coloured fabrics
-Lint(lint producers, collectors)-Wash lint producers and collectors separately
-Caring before loading-
Combine large clothes with smaller one.
Load the larger ones first and the large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
Check all the pockets to make sure they are empty.
Close zips, hooks and strings to make sure these items don’t snag on other clothes. Treat stains prior to loading the clothes.
Adding detergent
Use detergents meant for the machines.
Too much detergent should be avoided as excessive suds can cause heavy load on the motor and decrease the washing results.
Detergent usage may be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
Adding softener
Do not exceed the maximum filling line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the softener which could stain clothes.
Softener gets automatically added during the last rinse cycle.
Softeners should not be poured directly on the clothes.
