Preparing the Wash Load

Sort the wash load for best washing
results, and then prepare the clothes
according to the symbols on their care
labels.
Sorting the Clothes
• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light):
Separate clothes according to soil
level. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash
dark or dyed clothes separately from
whites or light colours. Mixing dyed
clothes with light clothes can result in
dye transfer or discolouration of
lighter clothes.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash
separately lint producing fabrics from
lint collecting fabrics. Lint producers
can result in pilling and linting on the
lint collectors.
Checking the Clothes Care

Checking the Clothes before
Loading
• To help distribute the load evenly
during spinning, combine large and
small items in a load.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-
2 similar items to the load to prevent
an out-of-balance load.
• 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 appliance
and clothes.
• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired
bras) in a wash net.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to
make sure that these items do not
snag on other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a
small amount of detergent dissolved
water onto stains to help lift dirt.
