to scrud page14.)
• Use correct amount of detergent for load size, amount of soil and
water hardness.
• To restore discolored load of whites, use rust remover safe for
fabric.
• Install nonprecipitating water softener or an iron filter in your
water supply system for an ongoing problem.
• Before washing, run water for a few minutes to clear lines.
• Wash lint givers eg towels, flannelette sheets, separately from lint
collectors eg synthetic fabrics and remove tissues in pockets
before wash. See page 11 for sorting and caring before loading.
