CHECK LIST AND PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING
Read all instructions carefully to avoid any damage or issues with the washing machine and to clothes. ALWAYS
follow instructions on fabric care labels on clothing articles for proper care.
WARNING: DO NOT leave items to be washed in the washing machine for long periods of time. Items left in the
machine may get moldy and get spots. Clothes may also become discolored if they are not washed according to the
stated washing temperature and instructions.
SELECTING DETERGENT
• Low foaming powdered detergent is recommended for use with the washing machine.
• Some detergents may not completely dissolve if there is too much detergent or if the water temperature is
too low.
• Bleach can damage clothes. Use bleach with caution and follow detergent and clothing article care
instructions.
Washing method is based on weight of clothes, soil level, local water hardness as well as the recommendations
from the detergent manufacturers.
NOTE: DO NOT place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of
your washer/dryer combo unit. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.
Keep all laundry products in a safe, dry space out of reach of children.
SEPARATE CLOTHES TO BE WASHED
Classify clothes to be washed into cottons, blended fibers, synthetic fibers, silks, wools, etc. Light and dark clothes
should also be separated.
NOTE: New, colored fabrics should be washed separately.
• Accessories: Loose accessories on some clothes may become damaged and/or damage the washing machine.
Clothes that contain buttons or embroideries should be turned inside-out before being washed.
• Fasteners: Zippers must be closed and buttons or hooks must be firmly affixed. Any loose bands or ribbons
should be tied together before being washed.
• Water-proof materials: It is not recommended to wash water-proof fabrics as they may become damaged
and/or cause damage to the washing machine and other items being washed.
REMOVE ALL LOOSE OBJECTS FROM CLOTHES
Check all pockets/compartments of clothes to be washed and remove any loose items such as coins. Loose items
may damage the washing machine.
BALANCING THE LOAD
Washing large, heavy garments, such as towels, jeans, jackets etc., may cause an unbalanced load. It is suggested to
add one or two more items to balance the load to allow smooth and complete draining.
