Precautions for fabric care before the wash cycle
Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
4 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.
4 Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
+ Large items should not be more than half of
the total wash load.
4 The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
4 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.
4 Do not wash waterproof clothes.
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may
cause the load to bounce, which could
damage the tub.
4 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.
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 items may be
damaged due to particles rubbing against
sheer fabrics.
4 Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together may
produce unsatisfactory results due to tangling
or an unbalanced load.
4 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.
