Operating the Washing Machine
Checklist and Preparation before Washing Clothes
Please read this operation method carefully to avoid the problems in
the washing machine or damage to the clothes.
First check for clothes that might transfer
After putting some liquid detergent on a white towel,, use the towel
and rub it on the invisible corners of the clothes, checking if the white
towel becomes stained with the clothes’ original colour.
Scarves and clothes that transfer easily should be washed separately
before washing them in the machine.
For stains on sleeves, collars and pockets,
use the liquid detergent and gently wash
it with a brush. Finally put them into the
washing machine to achieve more ideal
washing eects.
Temperature-sensitive clothes, must
be washed as indicated in the labels.
Otherwise, it may cause colour change
or distortion.
Keep in Mind:
Never put clothes to be washed in the washing machine for a long
period of time. Otherwise they may get mouldy and cause spots.
Therefore, please wash the clothes in time. The clothes also may get
colour changed or transfer if they are not washed according to the
adequate washing temperature.
Clothes that cannot be washed in the washing machine
Clothes that may get distorted if immersed in water: Ties, waistcoats,
western-style clothes, outer garments etc. may have obvious shrinkage
if immersed in water; decolorized clothes such as blended spinning
clothes in articial bres etc.
Wrinkly clothes, embossed clothes, resin clothes etc. may get distorted
AF_Manual_Boostwash_091117_EN.indd 16 09/11/2017 16:35
17
EN
Washing Machine | Lavadora | Máquina de Lavar Roupa
when immersed in water. Among cotton and wool materials, the clothes
that get easily distorted are wrinkle-style silk, fur products and fur
decorations; Clothes with decorations, long dresses and traditional
clothes etc. are the products that get decolorized more easily.
Please do not wash clothes without material labels and washing
requirements. Never wash clothes stained with chemicals such as
gasoline, petroleum, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol.
Please pay attention with regard to detergents
“Low bubble” detergent or washing powder or special washing powder
for drum washing machine should be selected according to the bre
types (cotton, synthetic bre, soft products and wool products),
colours, washing temperatures, levels and types of dirt. Otherwise,
excessive bubbles may be generated and overow out of the machine,
causing accidents.
Bleach belongs can damage clothes, so it is suggested to use it as little
as possible.
Powder detergents can easily leave residues in the clothes, generating
bad smell, so the clothes must be well rinsed.
The detergent can’t dissolve completely if there is too much detergent
or the water temperature is too low. It can remain in the clothes, pipes
and washing machines and pollute the clothes.
The washing programme chosen must consider the weight
of the clothes, level of dirt, local water hardness as well as the
recommendations from the detergent manufacturers. Please consult
the water company if you are not clear about the water hardness in
your area.
Notes: Keep detergents and additives in a safe and dry place, out of
reach of children.
AF_Manual_Boostwash_091117_EN.indd 17 09/11/2017 16:35

Please remove any items from
the pockets
Please check the pockets of the clothes
to be washed, remove rigid items such
as decorations and coins, otherwise the
washing machine may be damaged or
have abnormal troubles.
The clothes to be washed are classied according to the following
characteristics:
The symbol on the care labels: the clothes to be washed are classied
as cotton, blended bre, synthetic bre, silk, wool and articial bre.
Colour: white and colours shall be identied. All new colour articles
must be washed separately.
Size: articles of dierent sizes are washed together to increase the
washing eects.
Sensitivity: sensitive items must be washed separately. For new pure
wool textiles, curtains and silks, select the soft wash programme. Check
the labels of all the items.
The clothes must be sorted before putting them in the washing
machine. When washing curtains with hooks, the hooks must be
previously removed. Cloth decorations may damage the washing
machine. Clothes with buttons or embroideries must be turned inside
out before being washed.
Clothes with fasteners:
Zips must be zipped close and buttons or hooks must be tted. Loose
bands or ribbons must be tied together.
It is suggested to put bras into a net
bag with zips or buttons sealed to prevent
the steel wire from popping out of the bras
into the drum and damaging the machine.
Especially delicate textiles such as laced
curtains, straightjackets, small articles
(tight socks, handkerchiefs, ties etc.) must
AF_Manual_Boostwash_091117_EN.indd 18 09/11/2017 16:35
19
EN
Washing Machine | Lavadora | Máquina de Lavar Roupa
be washed inside the net bag. When washing
a single big and heavy clothing item such as
Turkish towels, jeans, wadded jackets etc., it
may easily cause great eccentricity and cause
alarm due to the great unbalance. Therefore,
we suggest adding one or two more clothing
items to be washed together so that spinning
can be done smoothly.
Clean any dust, stains and pet hairs from the clothes
The clothes may be damaged and condition the washing eects during the
friction between dust, stains and clothes.
To protect the baby’s skin
Baby articles (baby clothes and towels) including napkins must be washed
separately. If they are washed together with adults’ clothes, they may be
infected. Rinsing times shall be increased to ensure the thorough rinsing
and cleaning without any detergent residue.
We suggest that, for parts/items that are easily stained such as white
sockets, collars and sleeves etc., they must rst be washed by hand
before putting them into the washing machine, to achieve more ideal
washing eects.
Please use powder or liquid detergents. Soap residues can remain in the
gaps of the clothes if used. Conrm the washing capacity:
Do not put excessive clothing items in one washing load; otherwise it may
aect the washing eects. Please conrm the maximum washing quantity
according to the following table.
Fibre Type
Fibre Type
7.0 kg 8.0 kg 9.0 kg 10.0 kg
Cotton 7.0 kg 8.0 kg 9.0 kg 10.0 kg
Synthetic 3.5 kg 4.0 kg 4.5 kg 5.0 kg
Delicate 2.5 kg 2.5 kg 3.0 kg 3.0 kg
AF_Manual_Boostwash_091117_EN.indd 19 09/11/2017 16:35

Clothes that get easily fuzzed must be washed inside out
The clothes that get easily fuzzed must be washed separately; otherwise
the other items may be stained with dust and thrum etc. Preferably, black
clothes and cotton clothes shall be washed separately because they can
easily get stained with the thrums of other colours when being washed
together. Please check before washing.
The washing machine must not be used to wash waterproof materials
(ski suits, outside napkin pads, curtains)
As for the bre products in which water cannot penetrate easily, such
as waterproof cushions, and clothes, it is better not to wash them in the
washing machine. Otherwise there will be water bursting out or abnormal
vibration that may cause danger while rinsing and spinning, and the clothes
may also be damaged. (Such as outside napkin pads, raincoats, umbrellas,
ski suits, car covers, sleeping bags etc.).
Cautions during spinning
Spinning normal clothes:
The water from the spinning cycle is drained through the drain hole.
Spinning waterproof clothes and bre items: In the normal washing and
spinning cycle, waterproof clothes and bre items cannot be spinned while
washing water is gathered in one direction so that the eccentricity of the
washing machine is too great and can cause vibration or movement.
