CARING FOR CLOTHES BEFORE WASHING
Take out personal belongings from pockets.
• Caution, Check the pockets! Hairpins and coins cause damages to
clothes and washing machine. They make noise and problems to
the machine. Must check the pocket.
If pants zippers are open while washing, the spin basket may be damaged. The zipper
should be closed and fixed with a string before washing.
• Metal on the clothing may cause damage to the clothes and the tub.
• Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out the
before washing them.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes,
and may cause damage to the clothing. Be sure to fix the strings
before washing.
Waterproof clothes (Ski Wear, Diaper Covers, Footboards) are not allowed for washing.
• This may cause the laundry to be ejected or cause the washing machine to vibrate
abnormally, which may result in personal injury or damage the washing machine, the floor
or the clothing. (Diapers, waterproof clothing, raincoats, umbrella covers, skiwear, car cover
sheets, and sleeping bags, etc.).
• When the tub rotates, water may become trapped in the waterproof clothing or fabric and
can collect in a corner, causing abnormal vibrations. In addition, the laundry rises and may be
ejected and cause personal injury.
Shake the dirt or soils from clothes.
• Soil and sands may rub delicate garments to cause damages and the washing result may be
unsatisfactory.
Do pre-washing for white socks, sleeves, and collars before the main washing.
• For stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply some detergent to them
and apply it lightly with a brush before washing.
• Use powdered or liquid detergent. Do not use soap as the tub may become dirty from the
dirt on it.
Turn inside out for those nappy clothes before washing.
• If clothes have too much foreign matter, separate them for washing.
Other clothes may pick up those dirty matters (dirt, thread).
• Wash black colored clothes and cotton towels separately. If they are
washed together, towels may pick up dirty matters. Check before
washing.
Cashmilon and those garments having big volume and lightweight (eg. Lasedecorated
clothes, lingerie, nylon stocking, synthetic fabrics etc.) may rise and cause damages to
the clothes and problems to the machine. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
• Must put those long stringed clothes, lase-worked clothes, bed cover
sheet, wool clothes into a laundry net before washing.
