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,
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
damage due to particles rubbing against
sheer fabrics.
u Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together
may produce unclean 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 damage or become stained
due to fabric dyes running, or due to
foreign objects transferring from one fabric
to another.
