PREPARATION
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 and 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 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 clothes may be damaged
due to particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.
u Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket at a time may
lead to poor wash performance 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 be damaged or become stained due
to fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects
transferring from one fabric to another.
