Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
•Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
•Colour: Separate whites from colours.
•Size: Mixing different sized items together in the drum improves the washing performance.
•Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately for pure, new woollen items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting the wash.
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
•Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
•If trousers or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
•Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
•Brassieres (machine washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
•Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
•Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
