STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
• Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as
the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
• If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers should be closed
and fixed with a string.
• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings
before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break
through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around
the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that
could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled. When selecting the
Prewash option, make sure to put powder-type detergent into the main wash compartment.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not wash properly.
For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 38.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be
reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the
load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.
CAUTION
Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
