Preparing the Wash Load
Sort the wash load for best washing results, and then prepare the clothes according
to the symbols on their care labels.
Sorting the Clothes
• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light):
Separate clothes according to soil
level. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash
dark or dyed clothes separately from
whites or light colours. Mixing dyed
clothes with light clothes can result in
dye transfer or discolouration of
lighter clothes.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash
separately lint producing fabrics from
lint collecting fabrics. Lint producers
can result in pilling and linting on the
lint collectors.
Checking the Clothes Care Label
The symbols tell you about the fabric
content of your garment and how it
should be washed.

Checking the Clothes before
Loading
• To help distribute the load evenly
during spinning, combine large and
small items in a load.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-
2 similar items to the load to prevent
an out-of-balance load.
• 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 appliance
and clothes.
• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired
bras) in a wash net.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to
make sure that these items do not
snag on other clothes.
