PREPARATION
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.
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.
Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
Large items should not be more than half of the
total washload.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
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.
Do not wash waterproof clothes.
-This may cause abnormal vibration, or may
cause the load to bounce, which could damage
the tub.
Check if there are any other 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.
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.
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 they may damage due to
particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.
Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together may
result in poor cleaning performance due to
tangling or an unbalanced load.
Always separate fabrics according to their colors
and wash them separately to prevent colors from
running.
- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to
fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects
transferring from one fabric to another.
