Sorting and loading
Before you load
Check pockets
Loose items can damage both your AquaSmart ™ and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes
This is to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes. We recommend putting
lingerie in a lingerie bag prior to washing for best care of these items. Fasten the opening of
comforter covers.
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 and/or dryer.
Pretreat any stains
Use an appropriate surface to apply treatments. Take care to not spray or wipe pre-treaters
around or directly on your washer. These may damage the washer.
For a balanced load
■ ■
Place items directly into the washer. For the best wash, only fill the machine to the top of the
stainless steel basket.
■ ■
Do not wrap large items, such as bed sheets, around the low profile agitator, or spread them
over the low profile agitator. Load these items in as loose parcels, to the side of the low profile
agitator and in layers around the basket.
■ ■
A mixture of small and large items will wash the best (remember to wash bed sheets and towels
on their specially designed cycles).
■ ■
When washing a single large item, add a large beach towel to the wash to ensure that the load is
balanced for an effective spin.
Important!
Please do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wash an electric blanket in your AquaSmart™
washer. We do not recommend washing curtains in your washer. Sunlight makes them brittle so
they may disintegrate during washing.
