Operating Your Washer, continued
2 Prepare items for washing,
• Empty pockets.
• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach
towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,
and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage
during washing.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
• Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery
and baby socks in a mesh bag.
(Mesh bag not included.)
3 Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
4 Add laundry load to washer.
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Load large items first. Large items should not be
more than half the total wash load.
• Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or
jeans is inefficient and may cause an out-of-bal-
ance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance
the load.
• Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized
comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the items
should not be tightly packed. The door should close
easily.
• See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for safe,
successful stain removal instructions.
