Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails) 

may damage the laundry or components in the washing 

machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your 

laundry:

▯

Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins, 

keys, other hard objects) are placed in the washer 

drum.

▯

Close any fasteners (such as zippers and hooks) that 

could cause laundry to catch or become entangled.

▯

Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts.

▯

Turn trousers and knitted wear inside out prior to 

washing.

▯

Place small items (such as socks and handkerchiefs) 

and underwired bras into a mesh bag prior to washing.

Sort laundry items according to color, degree of soiling 

and recommended wash temperature range.

Wash white items separately from colored items. 

Otherwise, white items may tend to become grey.

Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to 

washing. Choose an appropriate wash cycle that does 

not exceed the temperature recommended.

▯

some body odor. This could include light weight

worn for only one day. Also to freshen bed linen or

outside work and activities such as gardening, home 

and yard maintenance or worn during sports activities.
