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