Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase. • Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts. • Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ). • A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration.
