Operating Your Washer - NEC NWTL656 User Manual

To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your washer properly.
This section gives you this important information.
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items.
Remove pins, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the washer
interior.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
• Separate heavily soiled items from, lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be
washed together.
• Separate dark colours from light colours, colourfast items from non-colourfast item.
• Drop items into washer loosely. Items
should move easily through wash water for
best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.
• Load washer properly and select correct
load size setting.
Overloading and selecting a setting too small
for the wash load can:
-cause poor cleaning
-increase wrinkling
-create excessive lint
-wear out items faster (because of pilling).

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

Preparing clothes for washing
• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits out
to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
• Treat spots and stains.
(see "Removing stains" on page14).
Sorting
Loading
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. An
off balance load can make the washer vibrate
during spin.
• Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few small
items need less wash time.
• Use a large load size setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes and
some synthetic knits. These items should
have more room to move in the water than
heavy items (towels, jeans).
