OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundering Tips booklet.
LOAD THE CLOTHES WASHER
•Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load. Do not pack down the load.
•Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
•Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other lingerie in the “delicates” or “hand wash” cycle with similar lightweight items.
•When washing smaller, bulky items that do not fill the tub completely such as a rug, one pillow, stuffed toys or one or two sweaters, a few towels should be added for improved tumbling and spin performance.
•DO NOT overload the washer when washing large, bulky items such as comforters, blankets or mattress pads. Items should fit loosely in the tub, below the top row of holes. Use the “bulky items” cycle for these loads. The “bulky items” cycle can be
accessed by touching “cycle library” on the Home screen or use the Cycle Library option pad.
•When washing heavily soiled loads, it is very important to avoid overloading the washer to assure good cleaning results.
•To load a forgotten item, press the Start/Pause touchpad, wait for the Locked light to go out, add the item, close the lid and press the Start/Pause touchpad. After a pause of up to one minute, the cycle will resume.
•Close lid carefully to avoid slamming
NOTE:
•To assure that your additional items get clean, do not wait more than five minutes after the cycle has started to add the item.
