PREPARATION
X Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty.
- Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both your washer and your
clothes.
X Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.
X Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
X Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
X Large items should not be more than half of the
total washload.
X The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
X Do not wash single items, except for bulky items
such as blankets. Make sure to wash laundry in
similar types of loads.
- Washing a single small item may result in the tub
becoming unbalanced, vibrating and making a
noise.
X Do not wash waterproof clothes.
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may
cause the load to bounce, which could damage
the tub.
X Check if there are any other foreign objects in the
door seal and take extra care that clothes do not
get caught there.
- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain
clothes, and water may leak if clothes get caught
in the door seal.
X Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry
net.
- Small, light items may get caught in the door
seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other
items or the tub.
X Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before
washing.
- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or
sand on the fabrics, or they may damage due to
particles rubbing against sheer fabrics.
X Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together may
produce unclean results due to tangling or an
unbalanced load.
X Always separate fabrics according to their colors
and wash them separately to prevent colors from
running.
- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to
fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects
transferring from one fabric to another.
X For best performance, load clothes as shown.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the
drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order
to get clean.
- Do not press down on items while stacking
them in the drum.
