Precautions for fabric care before wash cycle

Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
Check all pockets to make sure that they are
u
empty.
- Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins,
and keys can damage both your washer and
your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings
u
to prevent these items from snagging or
tangling on other clothes.
Pretreat heavily stained areas before
u
washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free
results.
Combine large and small items in a load.
u
Load large items first.
Large items should not be more than half of
u
the total washload.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
u
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
Do not wash single items, except for bulky
u
items such as blankets. Make sure to wash
laundry in similar types of loads.
- Washing a single small item may result in
the tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating,
making a noise.
Do not wash waterproof clothes.
u
- This may cause abnormal vibration or may
cause the load to bounce, which could
damage the tub.
Check if there are any other foreign objects
u
in the door seal and take extra care that
clothes do not get caught there.
- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain
clothes, and water may leak if clothes get
caught in the door seal.
Wash underwear or small, light items in a
u
laundry net.
- Small, light items may get caught in the
door seal, and a brassiere hook may
damage other items or the tub.
Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics
u
before washing.
- Laundry may not wash clean if there is
dirt or sand on the fabrics, or they may be
damaged due to particles rubbing against
sheer fabrics.
Wash blankets individually.
u
- Washing more than one blanket together
may produce unclean results due to tangling
or an unbalanced load.
Always separate fabrics according to their
u
colors and wash them separately to prevent
colors from running.
- Fabrics may damage or become stained
due to fabric dyes running or due to foreign
objects transferring from one fabric to
another.
