Preparing the Wash Load
Sort the wash load for best washing results, and
then prepare the clothes according to the symbols
on their care labels.
Sorting the Clothes
• For best washing results, sort your clothes
according to a care label stating fabric type and
washing temperature. Adjust the spin speed to
wash them.
• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate
clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash separately
dark or dyed clothes from whites or light colours.
Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result
in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter
clothes.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately
lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics.
Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on
the lint collectors.
