Preparing Laundry

Prepare laundry according to the symbols on the
care labels. Sort laundry for best washing results.

Sorting Laundry
• To get the best results, sort clothes into loads
that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
• Different fabrics need to be washed at varying
temperatures and spin speeds.
• Wash two or more towels or knits together. If
washed separately, laundry which absorbs a lot
of water may not be washed well or abnormal
spin-drying may occur due to leaning.
• Always sort dark colours from pale colours and
whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer
can occur causing discolouration of white and
pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
NOTE
• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) : Separate clothes
according to amount of soil.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Separate white
fabrics from coloured fabrics.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash lint
producers and lint collectors separately.

Wash / Fabric type
Caring Laundry before Loading
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
• Large items should not be more than half the
total wash load. Do not wash single items. This
may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two
similar items.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,
pens, coins and keys can damage both your
washing machine and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure
that these items don't snag on other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains
to help lift dirt.
CAUTION
• Use the Ropa de cama (Bedding) programme
for buoyant or non absorbent items such as
pillows or comforters. Failure to follow this
caution can result in leakage.
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water
resistant must be washed in the
Aprueba de agua (Waterproof) programme
only. (e.g. water resistant clothing, mattress
covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats, etc.)
Otherwise, it may result in personal injury or
damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and
surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.
• Examples of water-proof or water-resistant
items include certain mattress pads, mattress
covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing apparel,
outdoor gear and similar items.
