curtains, and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care chart.

and the water tank.
Securing Fasteners: Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks: loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Prewashing Cotton: Cotton. Perm Press. Delicate prewash are not normally necessary. Your new washing
machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water
and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining Load Capacity; Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash properly.
Detergent Tips: The type of detergent you use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, Perm Press, delicate
items, wool), color, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling. Always use 'low suds' laundry soap, which is
designed for automatic washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturers recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the degree of
soiling, and the darkness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, ask you water
authority. ^^
Note: Keep detergents and additives in a safe dry place out of the reach of children.
