Preparing clothes for washing
To obtain the best wahing results, you must operate your washer properly.
This section gives you this important information.
OPERATING YOUR WASHER
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items.
Remove pins, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the washer
interior.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits
out to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
• Treat spots and stains.
(see "Removing stains" on page14)
• Drop items into washer loosely. Items
should move easily through wash water
for best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.
• Load washer properly and select correct
load size setting.
Overloading and selecting a setting too
small for the wash load can:
- cause poor cleaning
- increase wrinkling
- create excessive lint
- wear out items faster (because of pilling)
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance.
An off balance load can make the washer
vibrate during spin.
• Reduce wash time when using a small
load size setting. Loads with only a few
small items need less wash time.
• Use a large load size setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes
and some synthetic knits. These items
should have more room to move in the
water than heavy items (towels, jeans)
• Separate heavily soiled items from, lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be
washed together.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast item.
