Pretreat stains and heavy soil.

CASUA_

Sort items by recommended cycle and water temperature.

Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark and non-colorfast items.

Separate items that shed lint from items that attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille bedspreads.

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.

Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items from durable items.

Do not machine wash items containing fiberglass. Small particles of fiberglass left in the drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation.

Prepare items for washing.

• Empty pockets.

See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for safe, successfu{ stain removal instructions.

4 Add laundry load to washer.

• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.

• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.

• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.

Combine large and small items in a load.

Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or jeans is inefficient and may cause an out-of-balance load.

Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.

Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.

The washer can be fully loaded, but the items should not be tightly packed. The door should close easily.
