Preparingclothesfor washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

[] Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result

in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

[] Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

[] Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

[] Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

[] Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

[] Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

[] Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

[] Treat spots and stains.

[] Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

[] Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.

[] Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment bags. To create a balanced load it is recommend that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

NOTE: If you are washing only small items, it is recommend that more than one mesh garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

Sorling

[] Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint- givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.

[] Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

[] Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).

Unloading

[] Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.

Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.

[] When unloading garments, occasionally check under the rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
