Empty all pockets and turn them inside out.
Turn down cuIIs and turn synthetic knits inside out.
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
Treat spots and stains beIore washing.



SORTING
Mix large and small items in each load.
Separate heavily soiled items Irom lightly soiled ones.
Separate dark colours Irom light colours.
Separate colourIast items Irom non-colourIast ones.
Separate robust Iabrics Irom delicate.
Separate whites Irom coloured Iabrics.



LOADING
LiIt and Iold the lid.
