Precautions for fabric care before wash cycle

Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
u
-Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can
damage both your washer and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
u
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
u
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items
u
first.
Large items should not be more than half of the total
u
washload.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be
u
tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
Do not wash single items, except for bulky items such as
u
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.
Do not wash waterproof clothes.
u
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may cause the load
to bounce, which could damage the tub.
Check if there are any other foreign objects in the door seal
u
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.
Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry net.
u
- Small, light items may get caught in the door seal, and a
brassiere hook may damage other items or the tub.
Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before washing.
u
- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or sand on
the fabrics, or they may damage due to particles rubbing
against sheer fabrics.
Wash blankets individually.
u
- Washing more than one blanket together may produce
unclean results due to tangling or an unbalanced load.
Always separate fabrics according to their colors and wash
u
them separately to prevent colors from running.
- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to fabric dyes
running, or due to foreign objects transferring from one
fabric to another.
