1. Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. Th s w ll tell you about the fabr c content of your garment and
how t should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, Sort clothes nto loads that can be washed w th the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and sp n speed and d fferent fabr cs need to be washed n d fferent ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and wh tes. Wash separately as dye and l nt transfer can
occur caus ng d scolorat on of wh te etc. If poss ble, do not wash heav ly so led tems w th l ghtly
so led one.
So l (Heavy, Normal, L ght) Separate clothes accord ng to amount of so l.

3. Caring before loading
 Caring before washing
 Before the first washing
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items sho ld not be more
than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may ca se an o t-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
Select a cycle (COTTON 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the un t to wash w thout cloth ng.
Th s w ll remove res dues from the drum that may have been left dur ng manufactur ng.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as na ls, ha r cl p,
matches, pens, co ns and keys can damage
both your washer and your clothes.
