Checking the Clothes before Loading

  • 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.
