Sorting laundry.
• To get the best results, sort clothes into
loads that can be washed with the same
wash cycle.
• Different fabrics need to be washed at
varying temperatures and spin speeds.
• Always sort dark colours from pale
colours and whites. Wash separately as
dye and lint transfer can occur causing
discolouration of white and pale garments.
If possible, do not wash heavily soiled
items with lightly soiled ones.
− Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of
soil.
− Colour (White, Lights, Darks):
Separate white fabrics from coloured
fabrics.
− Lint (Lint producers, Collectors):
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.

Caring 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 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 washing machine and
your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don't snag on other
clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a
small amount of detergent dissolved water
onto stains to help lift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray)
and remove any small articles.
CAUTION
• Check inside the drum and remove any items
from a previous wash.
• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible
gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.
