Preparing The Wash Load - LG WK22 S6 Series Owner's Manual

• When the cycle is finished, a melody will
sound. Immediately remove your clothing
from the appliance to reduce wrinkling.

Preparing the Wash Load

Sorting the Clothes
• For best washing results, sort your clothes
according to the care label stating fabric type
and washing temperature. Adjust the spin speed
or spin intensity in accordance to the fabric type.
• 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 before
Loading
• 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. Do not wash single items. This
may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two
similar items.
• 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.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains
to help lift dirt.
