Precautions for Fabric Care Before Wash Cycle

Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
u 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.
u Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
u Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
u Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items
first.
u Large items should not be more than half of the total
washload.
u The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be
tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
u 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.
u Do not wash waterproof clothes.
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may cause the load
to bounce, which could damage the tub.
u Check if there are any other 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.
u 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.
u 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 they may be damaged due to particles rubbing
against sheer fabrics.
u Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket in a load may produce
inferior results due to tangling or an unbalanced load.
u 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.
