Preparation Before Washing - LG WM2688H*M Owner's Manual

PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
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)
Color (White, Lights, Darks)
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors)
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.
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.

• 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.
