Before washing

1Prepare the wash load

^Empty all pockets.

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

^Sort the laundry

Only wash items that are labeled ma- chine washable by the manufacturer. Some garments will have a Fabric care label in the collar or side seam. If so, sort the laundry by care label and color.

Dark fabrics often contain “excess dye” and should be washed separately sev- eral times before being included in a mixed load.

Delicate fabrics should be washed sep- arately using the FINE/DELICATES pro- gram.

Only wash wool or wool mixtures if they are labeled machine washable on the textile care label.

^Pre-treat the laundry

Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and cuffs) and water soluble stains can be pre-treated with bar soap, stain re- mover, or detergent mixed into a solu- tion or paste.

Do not use detergents containing sol- vents in the machine.

For curtains:

^Remove any lead weights or strips.

Woolens and knitted garments should be turned inside out if recommended by the manufacturer.
