Using the washer
1. Sort the laundry | General tips |
^Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine.
^
Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars and cuffs) should be penetrated 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.
^Sort the laundry.
–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 underwires should be removed or sewn in place before washing.
–Woolens and knitted garments should be turned inside out.
–Close zippers and hooks and eyes 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.
