PREPARATION

u

Check all pockets to make sure that they are

empty.

- Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and

keys can damage both your washer and your

clothes.

u

Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to

prevent these items from snagging or tangling

on other clothes.

u

Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.

- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.

u

Combine large and small items in a load. Load

large items first.

u

Large items should not be more than half of

the total wash load.

u

The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items.

-The door of the washer should close easily.

u

Do not wash single items, except for bulky

items such as blankets. Make sure to wash

laundry in similar types of loads.

- Washing a single small item may result in the

tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating and

making a noise.

u

Do not wash waterproof clothes.

- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may

cause the load to bounce, which could

damage the tub.

u

Check if there are any foreign objects in the

door seal and take extra care that clothes do

not get caught there.

- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain

clothes, and water may leak if clothes get

caught in the door seal.

u

Wash underwear or small, light items in a

laundry net.

- Small, light items may get caught in the door

seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other

items or the tub.

u

Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before

washing.

- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or

sand on the fabrics, or items may be

damaged due to particles rubbing against

sheer fabrics.

u

Wash blankets individually.

- Washing more than one blanket together may

produce unsatisfactory results due to tangling

or an unbalanced load.

u

Always separate fabrics according to their

colors and wash them separately to prevent

colors from running.

- Fabrics may be damaged or become stained

due to fabric dyes running, or due to foreign

objects transferring from one fabric to

another.
