Using the washer

1. Prepare and 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.

^Sort the laundry.

Only wash items in the machine 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.

^Pretreat stains.

Tough stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea, etc.) or badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and cuffs) should be penetrated with a stain remover or a paste made from powdered detergent and warm water.

,Do not use chemical solvents in the machine.

General tips

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

Remove any lead weights or strips from curtains before washing.

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

Woolens and knitted garments should be turned inside out.

Close zippers, hooks and eyelets before washing.

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

Do not machine wash items if it is not recommended on the fabric care label.
