? WASHING TIPS AND HINTS
Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:
? Types of fabric care label symbol: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools
and rayon.
? Color: Divide whites and colors. Wash new, colored items separately.
? Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.
? Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the delicate wash program for pure new wool,
curtains, and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care
chart.
EMPTY POCKETS
Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing machine drum, and the water
tank.
SECURING FASTENERS
Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; Loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.
PREWASHING COTTON
Cotton and Perm Press are not normally necessary. You new washing machine, combined with
modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent.
However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.
DETERMINING LOAD CAPACITY
Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash properly.
DETERGENT TIPS
The type of detergent you use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, Perm Press, delicates and wool),
color, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry soap, which is
designed for automatic washing machine.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the
degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you don’t know how hard your water
is, ask your water authority.
NOTE: Keep detergents and additives in a safe dry place out of the reach of children.
