LOADING
BEFORE WASHING
• CHECK POCKETS Things such as nails, hairclips, matches and pens can damage both your washer and your clothes.
•CLOSE ZIPPERS, HOOKS AND EYES This is to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.
•MEND ANY TORN GARMENTS OR LOOSE BUTTONS Tears or holes may become larger during washing. Remove any loose bra wires as they can damage your washing machine and/or dryer.
•PRE-TREAT ANY STAINS
•FOR A BALANCED LOAD:
*Place unfolded clothes firmly and evenly around the agitator.
*Do not wrap large items, such as sheets, around the agitator.
*A mixture of small and large items will wash the best.
•DO NOT OVERLOAD THE MACHINE Ensure that the load does not extend above the dispenser as splashing may occur.
WASHING BULKY ITEMS
•Forcing large items into the machine may result in them being damaged during washing. Ensure there is sufficent room in the machine for items to move when being washed.
•Some items float up during the wash, (eg duvets, pillows). If they sit too high they may come into contact with stationary parts of the machine during agitate or spin. To minimize the chance of this happening, bulky items should be pushed down below the water level after fill and pushed to sit below the medium high water level mark on the agitator before spinning. Select a slow spin.
•We recommend washing these items on the Delicate cycle. If you wish to
