Checking the Clothes before
Loading
•
Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
•
Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load. Do not wash single items. This
may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two
similar items.
•
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.
•
Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and
remove any small articles.
CAUTION
•
Check if the laundry gets stuck between the
door and the seal, otherwise the laundry may
get damaged while washing.
•
Remove items from the flexible gasket to prevent
clothing and door seal damage.
