USING YOUR WASHER

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, build-up of mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

IMPORTANT:

nEmpty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can plug pumps and may require a service call.

nClose zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

nMend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

nTurn 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.

nDo not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.

nAlways read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage to your garments.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the Rapid Wash cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

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.

2. Load laundry into washer

Open the washer door. 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.

nDepending 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.

nMix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.

nWash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use more than one bag and fill bags equally.
