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 cause extensive
damage to 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 that the clothes are not stuck between
the door and the seal, otherwise the clothes and
the seal may get damaged while washing.
•
Remove items from the flexible gasket to prevent
clothing and door seal damage.
