Laundry guidelines
Carefullyread the following instructions to avoid machineproblems or damage to clothing.
* Check the care label on clothing before washing.
Do not overloadthe tub with laundry. Excessivelaundry reduces washing efficiency, increases
wear and tear on clothes, and can cause increased creasing and wrinkling.
When washing big, bulky items add some towels to improve the tumbling and spinning
performance.
Check if there are any garments that might discolor the rest of the wash. Apply a liquid
detergent to a white towel and a garment, and then rub the garment with the soapy portion of
the towel. If color from the garment comes off on the towel, wash the garment separately or
with other items of a similar color.
Specialcare is needed for scarves and imported clothes since they discolor easily. Check for
stains or dirt. For stains, add some detergent to a cloth and rub the stains in one direction. Soil
and dirt may rub against delicate garments, causing damage to the garments.
For a badly soiled item, first dust it off and then wash it.
Before washing the laundry, make sure that sleeves,collars, dress hems, and pockets are pre-
treated by brushing them with detergent. Wrinkle-processedclothing made of wool should be
speciallytreated by tying them together (usingthread) before washing. Removethe thread after
the clothes havedried.

embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. Zip up all zippers. Otherwise,the spin
basket may be damaged.

before starting a wash.
