Do not wash fiberglass materials in your washer. Glass particles
could stick to the next load and cause skin irritation.
Garments are labeled “Hand Washable” because:
• The fiber or construction may be sensitive to agitation.
• The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.
Properly sort wash, then use your Hand Washables cycle, for
gentle washing. Follow care label directions for drying.
Items susceptible to shrinkage should be dried flat. Block by
gently stretching to original measurements. Woolens tend to
shrink more the first time they are washed. This is normal.
Knits are comfortable to wear because they stretch. However,
this means that knits are more likely to be stretched and
damaged when washed (especially bulky knits). Knits made of
synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic tend to
keep their original shape more than a knit made of cotton or
ramie.
1. Close zippers, fasten hooks and eyes to prevent snagging.
2. Wash small loads to reduce pilling and lint.
Washing feather pillows is not recommended unless they are
dryer dried.
1. Add detergent. Select Small Load Size (water level). Fill and
agitate until detergent is mixed.
2. Press CANCEL. Place two pillows on opposite sides of the
agitator to balance the load.
3. Select a Fabric/Cycle and Extra Large Load Size to fill
completely and continue through the cycle.
Treat as delicate items. Wash in warm water. Wash small items
in a mesh bag.
Do not wash cotton-filled comforters unless they are quilted or
stitched; tucked cotton batting tends to slip and become lumpy.
1. Shake or vacuum to remove loose dirt.
2. Wash more than one small rug at a time. If you wash only
one rug, add bath towels to balance the load. A larger rug
should be distributed around the agitator to balance the load.
1. Wash only one or two items at a time. Load evenly around
the agitator.
2. Two rinses may be necessary.
