Before you wash
Sorting
To get the best wash results it pays to sort
your clothes before washing.
Care labels
The care label will tell you about the fabric of
the garment and how it should be washed.
Soil
Sort clothes according to the type and amount
of soil. Some soils suit warmer washes, eg oily
soils, while others are best washed in cold
water, eg mud, blood.
Colour
Sort white fabrics from coloured fabrics.
Lint
Wash lint givers and lint collectors separately.
Where possible, turn lint collectors inside out.

Check pockets
Loose items can damage both your washer
and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes
This is to make sure that these items do not
snagon other clothes.
Mend any torn garments or loose buttons
Tears or holes may become larger during washing. Remove any loose bra wires as they can
damage your washing machine.
Pretreat any stains
Make sure you use an appropriate surface to apply treatments. Do not use the lid or top of the
machine, as damage may occur to these surfaces.
Make sure the water level suits the load size
Select the correct water level by using the mark on the agitator nearest to the top of the load.
Ensure that the load does not extend above the fabric softener dispenser, as splashing may occur.
For a balanced load
Place unfolded clothes firmly and evenly around the agitator.
Do not wrap large items, such as sheets, around the agitator.
A mixture of small and large items will wash the best.
Important!
Please do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wash an electric blanket in your washer. Nor is
it recommended that you wash curtains in your washer, sunlight makes curtains brittle and they
may disintegrate during washing.
