trapped, causing unexpected sounds.
• Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat
can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to garments
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information
on using the Bulky Items cycle.
• Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing
delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.
