18 PREPARATION PREPARATION Sorting Wash Loads Precautions for Fabric Care Before Wash Cycle Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes. uuCheck 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. uuClose zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes. uuPretreat heavily stained areas before washing. - Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results. uuBrush 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. uuWash blankets individually. - Washing more than one blanket in a load may produce inferior results due to tangling or an unbalanced load. uuCombine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. uuLarge items should not be more than half of the total washload. uuThe washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. -The door of the washer should close easily. uuAlways 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. uuDo not wash single items, except for bulky items such as blankets. Make sure to wash laundry in similar types of loads. - W ashing a single small item may result in the tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating and making a noise. uuDo not wash waterproof clothes. - T his may cause abnormal vibration, or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub. uuCheck if there are any foreign objects in the door seal and take extra care that clothes do not get caught there. - F oreign objects in the door seal may stain clothes, and water may leak if clothes get caught in the door seal. uuWash underwear or small, light items in a laundry net (mesh bag). - S mall, light items may get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the tub.
