How to use

To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your washer properly. This section gives you this important information.

Preparing clothes for washing

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items.

Remove pin, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior.

Empty pockets and pull them inside out.

Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.

Tie strings and sashes to avoid tangling.

Treat spots and stains. (See ‘Removing stains’ on page xx)

Sorting clothes for washing

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together.

Separate dark colours from light colours, colourfast items from non-colourfast item

Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

Loading clothes for washing

Drop items into washer loosely. Items should move easily through wash water for best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.

Load washer properly and select correct load size setting.

Overloading and selecting a setting too small for the wash load can :

Cause poor cleaning

Increase wrinkling

Create excessive lint

Wear out items faster (because of pilling)

Mix large and small items in each load. Load evenly to maintain washer balance. An unbalanced load can make the washer vibrate during spin.
