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.

  • When washing clothes with long attached straps, tie them or use a laundry net.

  • Use a laundry net for small items like sleeves, stockings, tights, underwear, and socks to prevent them from getting stuck between the drum and the door seal.

  • Fill the laundry net with less than half its capacity and wash it with other clothes. Avoid overfilling or washing it separately, as it may cause an imbalance in the drum, leading to an inadequate spin cycle.

  • 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.
