Sorting
Care Labels
Care labels will tell you about the fabric of the
garment and how it should be washed.
Soil
Sort clothes according to the type and amount
of soil. Some soils suit warmer washes eg. oily
soils, while others are best washed in cold water
eg. mud, blood.
Color
Sort white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint
Wash lint givers and lint collectors separately.
Where possible, turn lint collectors inside out.
Before you load
Check pockets
Loose items can damage both your AquaSmart™
and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes
This is to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes. We recommend putting
lingerie in a lingerie bag prior to washing for best care of these items.
Mend any torn garments or loose buttons
Tears or holes may become larger during washing. Remove any loose bra wires as they can
damage your washing machine and/or dryer.
Pretreat any stains
Use an appropriate surface to apply treatments. Please do not use the lid of the washer as
damage may occur.
For a balanced load
Place items directly into the basket.
Do not wrap large items, such as bed sheets, around the low profile agitator. Drop them straight
into the washer.
A mixture of small and large items will wash the best (remember to separate out bed sheets and
select the SHEETS cycle for these).
When washing a single large item, add a large beach towel to the wash to ensure that the load
is balanced for an effective spin.
Important!
Please do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wash an electric blanket in your AquaSmart™
washer. We do not recommend washing curtains in your washer. Sunlight makes them brittle so
they may disintegrate during washing.
