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.  
Fabric Type  
Coloured/cotton  
Load Capacity  
10.0 kg  
Cotton 95˚C/ Cotton 75˚C  
Towel / Quick / Bedding  
Wools /Delicates  
7.0 kg  
5.0 kg  
4.0 kg  
Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton,  
synthetic, delicate items, wool), 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.  
Note: Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

Electrical warnings  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions  
in mind:  
Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the marking  
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your  
appliance dealer or local power company.  
Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped  
with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other.  
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the  
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact  
your electrician to replace your outlet.  
Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely  
to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular  
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from  
the unit.  
Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or  
electric shock.

Use stain removal products and bleaches before the wash cycle only when strictly  
necessary.  
Save water and electricity by only washing full loads (the exact amount depends upon  
the programme used).
