3.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 out-of-balance load. Add one or
two similar items.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails hair clip matches
pens coins and keys can damage both your
washer 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 little
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.
• Check inside of the drum and remove any item
from a previous wash.
2.Sorting
To get the best results sort clothes into loads that
can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and spin speed and different
fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites.
Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur
causing discolouration of white etc. If possible do
not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.
• Soil (Heavy Normal Light)
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
• Color (White Lights Darks)
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• Lint (Lint producers Collectors)
Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
