m Caring before washing
1. Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garment and how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and spin speed and different fabncs need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily
solled items wath lightly soiled one.
soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) separate white fabnes from colored fabrics.
Lint {Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
3. Caring before loading
H Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more
than halfthe total wash load.
Do not wash single items, This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
Check all pockets to make sure
that they are empty. ltems such as
| A = -
Dd A "e nails, hair clip, matches, pens,
A O coins and keys can damage both
your washer and your clothes.
+ Close zippers, hooks and strings to
make sure that these items dont
snag on other clothes.
