To help distribute the load evenly during spinning, combine large and small items in a load.
Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your appliance and clothes.
Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in a wash net.
Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.
Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains to help lift dirt.
