Before You Wash
Sorting
To get the best wash results it pays to sort your
clothes before washing.
Care Labels
The care label will tell you about the fabric of the
garment and how it should be washed.
Soil
Sort clothes according to the type and amount of
soil. Some soils suit warmer washes eg oily soils,
while others are best washed in cold water eg
mud, blood.
Colour
Sort white fabrics from coloured fabrics.
Lint
Wash lint givers and lint collectors separately.
Where possible, turn lint collectors inside out.
Loading
Check Pockets
Loose items can damage both your Smart Drive®
and your clothes.
Close Zippers, Hooks and Eyes
This is to make sure that these items do not snag
on other clothes.
Mend Any Torn Garments or Loose Buttons
Tears or holes may become larger during washing.
Remove any loose bra wires as they can damage
your washing machine and/or dryer.
Pretreat Any Stains
Make Sure the Water Level Suits the Load Size
Select the correct water level by using the mark on the agitator nearest to the top of
the load. Ensure that the load does not extend above the fabric softener dispenser as
splashing may occur.
For a Balanced Load
Place unfolded clothes firmly and evenly around the agitator.
Do not wrap large items, such as sheets, around the agitator.
A mixture of small and large items will wash the best.
