Preparation Before Washing - LG WM2487HRM Owner's Manual

PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING
10
1. Fabric Care Labels
Look for
a care
label
on
your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garment
and how it should
be washed.
2.
Sorting
To
get
the best
results, sort
clothes into loads that
can
be washed with the
same
wash
cycle.
Different fabrics need
to
be washed in different ways.
Always sort
dark colors from
pale
colors and whites. Wash
separately
as
dye
and lint transfer
can occur
causing
discoloration of white
clothing.
If
possible,
do
not
wash
heavily
soiled items with
lightly
soiled
ones.
Soil (Heavy,
Normal,
Light)
Separate
clothes
according to amount
of soil.
Color
(White, Lights, Darks) Separate
white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint
producers
and lint collectors
separately.
3. Check 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
out-of-balance load. Add
one or
two similar items.
Single bulky items,
such
as
blanket, comforter,
or
bedspread
can
be washed
separately.
?
Check all the
pockets to
make
sure
that
they
are
empty. Things
such
as
clip, matches,
pens,
coins,
and
keys
can
damage
both your washer
and your clothes.
?
Close
zippers, hooks,
and
strings to
make
sure
that these items do not
snag
on
other clothes.
?
Pretreat dirt and stains
by brushing
a
little
detergent
dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs
to help
lift dirt.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
fire,
electric
shock,
or
injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before
operating
this
appliance.
NOTE: Do not wash
or
spin water-proof clothes.
The washer
can
be
fully loaded,
but the drum should
not
be
tightly packed
with items. The door of
the washer should close easily.
When
unloading items,
check under the door seal for small items.
