Washing bulky items
Make sure there is enough room in the machine for
items to move when being washed. Forcing large items
into the machine may result in them being damaged
during washing.
Some items float up during the wash (eg comforters
and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch
stationary parts of the machine during agitate or spin.
To minimize the chance of this happening, bulky items
should be pushed down below the water level after fill
and pushed to sit below the medium high water level
mark on the agitator before spinning. Select the correct
water level manually. Select a SLOW spin.
Important!
To prevent an out of balance load we recommend washing these items on the DELICATE cycle. If
you wish to re-spin the load at a faster speed make sure the load is sitting below the medium high
mark before spinning.
Washing woollens
Some products carrying a MACHINE WASHABLE care
claim. The fibers of these woollens have been treated to
prevent felting when they are machine washed. Most
handknitted garments are not made of machine washable
