Using the washer

1. Prepare and sort the laundry Sort the laundry

^Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine.

Pretreat stains

^Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea, etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars and cuffs) should be pretreated with a stain remover or a paste made from powder detergent and warm water. Dab stains with a damp light colored cloth. Do not rub!

,Do not use chemical solvents in the machine.

^Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer. Most garments have a fabric care label in the collar or side seam.

^Sort the laundry by care label and color.

General tips

Dark fabrics often bleed the first few times they are washed. They should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.

Curtains: Remove any lead weights or strips before washing.

Loose bra underwires should be removed or sewn in place before washing.

Woolens, knitted garments, jeans, pants and sweat shirts should be turned inside out.

Close zippers, hooks and eyelets before washing.

Comforter covers and pillowcases should be fastened to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.

Do not wash items with the h symbol on the fabric care label.
