What goes in your washer-dryer ?
Before washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your
garments according to fabric and color. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.
LAUNDRY PREPARATION
Sorting
Clothes should be sorted from separate items which could
damage other garments. Sort items into loads according to
similar colors, fabrics, garment construction and degrees of
soil.
- Color. Separate clothes into three groups: whites and pastels,
medium and bright colors and dark colors. Items which bleed
color should be washed alone.
- Type of fabrics. Delicate items should be separated from
sturdier items. Fabrics that shed lint should be separated
from those which shed none or attract lint.
- Garment constructions. Garments that may fray easily or
that have unusual trim require gentle care. These garments
may be washed in the loader using the knit cycle. If garments
are fragile and delicate, hand washing may be desirable.
- Degree of soil. Heavily soiled items should be separated
from the rest of the wash to prevent transfer of soil in the wash
water.
Inspection
While sorting clothes into wash-loads, also inspect each
garment to see if it requires special care.
- Remove stains, while they are fresh and easy to get out. Try
cold water first to remove unknown stains. Hot water sets stains
containing protein such as blood, egg, meat and milk. To remove
difficult stains, refer to the removal Chart at the end of the
manual.
Pretreating
Pretreat heavily soiled areas such as collars, cuffs and center
of pillowcases by using a prewash spray, or brushing liquid
detergent or a laundry detergent or a laundry detergent and
water paste over the areas before washing.

RECESSED, CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATION
(Instructions)
The machine may be installed in a recessed area,
closet or alcove.
The installation spacing is in inches and is the
minimum acceptable.
Additional spacing should be considered for easy
inastallation, servicing and in compliance with local
codes or ordinances.
Other installation must use the minimum dimensions
indicated .
Minimum installation spacing
* Additional clearances for wall, door and floor moldings may
be equired.
.
- Pretreat heavily soiled areas such as collars, cuffs and
centers of pillowcases. Refer to the “Pretreating” section for
specific instructions.
- Mend rips and tears, before washing, so further damage is
not done to garments.
- Empty pockets. Objects left in pockets such as crayon,
pens or markers, or tobacco crumbs may stain an entire wash
load. Paper tissues will shred leaving bits on each item in the
washer. Remove coins and other foreign objects to prevent
damage to the machine.
- Fasten all hooks, zippers and buttons.
- Turn knit garments wrong side out to reduce the tendency
of knits to “pill”. Fabric “pills” are balls of fibers on the surface
the garments caused by wear or friction.
- Remove loose dirt and sand. Brush dirt from trouser cuffs;
shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose surface soil.
- If buckle is washable, place a scrap of material securely
around the ornament before washing and drying to prevent
scratching and damage to the machine. Remove non-washable
trims, buckles, buttons and belts.
- Tie strings, belts and apron sashes into bows to avoid
tangling during washing.
- Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.
