Laundry Tips

When the Cycle Control knob is set to a cycle and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid down.

During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.

After agitation starts, the Cycle Control knob turns clockwise until it points to an Off area and the cycle ends.

NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds occurring during the washing, rinsing, and spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. You may hear air being pulled through the pump during the end of draining or gears changing when the cycle changes. These sounds are part of normal washer operation.

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

•Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

•Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

•Turn down cuffs, brush away lint and dirt.

•Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.

•Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

•Mend tears, loose hems and seams.

•Treat spots and stains.

•Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

Sorting

•Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint givers inside out.

Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).
