USING YOUR WASHER
Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and
colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains
promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover
products on an inside seam.
IMPORTANT:
n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can plug pumps and may require a service call.
n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
n Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
n Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
Open the washer door. If desired, add single-dose laundry
packet, Oxi product, or color-safe bleach to the washer drum
before loading clothes. Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in
the washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to
reduce wrinkling and tangling. Close the washer door by pushing
it firmly until the latch clicks.
n Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close
easily. See “Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.
n Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
n Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
use more than one bag and fill bags equally.
3.
Load laundry into washer
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, fill the HE liquid dispenser
cartridge and install in the dispenser drawer. Choose the QUICK
WASH cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent.
This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean and the
dispenser drawer is ready for use before washing clothes.
2.
Add laundry products (if desired)
Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum
prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding
laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
