Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is. Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel. Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). When washing curtains, remove the hooks. Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons. It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time. When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature. White items should not be washed with coloured items. Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case. Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines. [. . . ] The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the load is evenly distributed and spinning can resume eventually at a lower speed, if the wash load is still not sufficiently balanced distributed, after 10 minutes, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and reselect the spin programme. The noise produced when spinning may differ from your previous washing machine, which is due to the modern drive system.
