TIPS
Preparing clothes
for
washing
Follow these
recommendations
to
help
you
prolong the
life
of
your garments.
Use
only
High
Efficiency
detergents.
The package
for this
type
of
detergent
will
be
marked
"HE"
or
"High
Efficiency."
This
wash
system, along
with
less water,
will
create too
much
sudsing
with a regular
non-HE
detergent.
Using
regular
detergent
will
likely
result
in
washer
errors,
longer cycle times
and
reduced
rinsing
performance.
It
may
also
result
in
component
failures
and
noticeable
mold
or
mildew.
HE
detergents
are
made
to
produce
the
right
amount
of
suds
for
the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions
to
determine
the
amount
of
detergent
to use.
Sorting
Separate
heavily soiled
items from
lightly
soiled
ones,
even
if
they
would
normally
be
washed
together.
Separate
lint-givers
(towels,
chenille)
from
lint-takers
(corduroy, synthetics,
permanent
press).
When
possible, turn
lint-givers
inside-out.
Separate dark
colors
from
light
colors, colorfast
items from
noncolorfast
items.
Sort
by
fabric
and
construction
(sturdy cottons,
knits,
delicate
items).
Unloading
Remove
clothes
from
washer
after
the cycle
is
completed.
Metal objects
such as
zippers,
snaps,
and
buckles
may
rust
if
left in
the
washer
basket
for
a long time.
When
unloading garments, occasionally
check
under
the gray
colored
seal
at
the
front of
the tub
for
small items.
Use
only
HE
High
Efficiency detergent.
Close
zippers,
snaps,
and hooks
to
avoid
snagging
other
items.
Remove
pins,
buckles,
and
other hard objects
to
avoid
scratching the
washer
interior.
Remove
non-washable
trim
and
ornaments.
Empty
pockets and
turn
them
inside-out.
Turn
down
cuffs;
brush
away
lint
and
dirt.
Turn
synthetic
knits
inside-out to
avoid
pilling.
Tie strings
and sashes so
they
will
not
tangle.
Mend
tears,
loose
hems, and seams.
Treat
spots
and
stains.
Stained
or
wet garments
should
be
washed
promptly
for
best
results.
Mix
large
and
small items, avoid
washing
single items,
and
load
evenly.
Wash
small items,
such as
infant
socks,
in
a
mesh
garment
bag.
To
create
a balanced load
it
is
recommended
that
more
than
one garment bag be
used,
and
that
each garment bag
be
filled
with
equal
amounts
of material.
NOTE:
If
you
are
washing
only small items,
it
is
recommended
that
more
than
one
mesh
garment bag be
used,
and
that
each garment bag be
filled
with equal
amounts
of material.
