Operation Operation Before Washing Sort Items Prepare Wash Load Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. Empty Pockets and Cuffs Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be removed.
Operation Loading the Washer Wash Temperature Guide Load Articles Water NOTE: Always add detergent first. Temperature • • Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by their weight.
