for washing
l l

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove nonwashable trim and ornaments. Empty pockets and turn them inside out. Turn down cuffs, brush away lint and dirt.

l l

Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling. Tie strings-and sashes so they will not tangle. Mend tears, loose hems, and seams. Treat spots and stains. (See �Removing Stains� on pages 18-20.) Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

l

Sorting
l

Separate heavily-soiled items from lightlysoiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint givers inside out.

l

l

Separate dark colors from light colors, colbrfast items from noncolorfast items. Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).

Loading
l

Drop items into washer loosely. Fill to the top of the basket, but do not wrap items around the agitator. Items should move easily through wash water for El best cleaning and wrinkle-free results. Items should sinkand reappear later. Load washer properly and select correct load size setting. Overloading or packing the machine, and selecting a setting too small for the wash load can: - cause poor cleaning. - increase wrinkling. - create excessive lint. -wear out items faster (because of pilling).

Load by the amount of space items take up, not by their weight. Mix large and small items in each load. Load evenly to maintain washer balance. An off/ balance load can make the \ --� -washer vibrate during spin. l!!iEl Use a large load size setting to reduce wrinkling with permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits. These items should have more room to move in the water than heavy items (towels, jeans). Reduce wash time when using a small load size setting. Loads with only a few small items need less wash time.
