1. Prepare and sort the laundry

^ Empty all pockets.

,

Foreign objects left in pockets

(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)
can cause damage to clothes and
the machine.

^ Sort the laundry.

Only wash items in the machine that are
labeled machine washable by the
manufacturer. Most garments have a
fabric care label in the collar or side
seam. Sort the laundry by care label
and color.

^ Pretreat stains.

Tough stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee,
tea, etc.) or badly soiled areas (e.g.
collars and cuffs) should be penetrated
with a stain remover or a paste made
from powdered detergent and warm
water.

,

Do not use chemical solvents in

the machine.

removed or sewn in place before
washing.

before washing.

should be fastened in order to
prevent small items from rolling
inside of them.
