Using the washer

1. Prepare and sort 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 that are labeled ma- chine washable by the manufacturer. Most garments have a fabric care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laun- dry by care label and color.

^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.

–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.

–Remove any lead weights or strips from curtains before washing.

–Loose bra underwires should be re- moved or sewn in place before washing.

–Woolens and knitted garments should be turned inside out.

–Close zippers, hooks and eyelets be- fore washing.
